The Original Model: A Technical Revolution

The Renault Réinastella was born in 1928 and underwent several evolutions until 1934. This revolutionary model for its time introduced major innovations in French automobiles, particularly with its inline 8-cylinder engine developing remarkable power for its time. The 1934 version benefits from significant improvements, both mechanically and aesthetically.

This luxury sedan distinguishes itself with its imposing body and elegant lines, characteristic of the French automotive style of the 1930s. The Réinastella embodies the refinement and technical sophistication that Renault aimed to project in the high-end automotive market.

Its commercial success, although limited by its exclusive clientele, confirms Renault's ability to compete with the largest European manufacturers of the time in the luxury automotive segment.

Renault in the 1930s: Innovation in the Service of Prestige

During the 1930s, Renault established itself as one of the most innovative French automobile manufacturers. Under the leadership of Louis Renault, the company developed a complete range of vehicles, from the popular Juvaquatre to the prestigious Réinastella and Nervasport. This period marks the height of technical innovation at Renault, with the introduction of revolutionary technologies.

The history of Renault, which began in 1898 in the Boulogne-Billancourt workshop, saw remarkable international expansion in the 1930s. The diamond logo brand then developed its worldwide reputation thanks to its participation in automobile competitions and its constant technical innovations.

The Réinastella fits within this strategy of high-end positioning, allowing Renault to compete directly with prestigious European brands while maintaining its unique French identity that still characterizes the brand today.

A Royal Anecdote

The Renault Réinastella experienced its glory days in European courts and diplomatic circles of the time. One of the most notable anecdotes concerns the acquisition of a Réinastella by King Carol II of Romania in 1933. This monarch, a great admirer of French automobiles, equipped his Réinastella with special features including a revolutionary radio communication system for its time.

This same royal Réinastella was used during the king's official visit to France in 1934, driving through the streets of Paris with its distinctive livery in Romanian colors. The event marked French public opinion, reinforcing the international prestige image of this Renault sedan.

Even more surprising, this car served as inspiration for the checkerboard patterns found on certain production series versions, like this reproduction from 1934. These checkers, initially thought of as a nod to the motor sports of the time, quickly became a sought-after aesthetic code among wealthy European clientele.

Thus, the Réinastella perfectly embodied the spirit of the "Roaring Twenties" and the interwar period, when French automobiles shone across the entire European continent, symbolizing refinement and the French art of living.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to understand the scales of miniatures?

Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.

Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.

What scales are available?

Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.

The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).

Does the model car come with protection?

Yes, each model car is systematically delivered in its protective box. This box preserves the collectible value and protects your model car from dust and shocks.

How is my package protected during transport?

We package each order with the utmost care: bubble wrap, appropriate cushioning, and polystyrene. Your model car is perfectly secure during its journey.

What is the delivery time?

In-stock items are shipped within 24-48 hours. Please allow 2-3 business days for France via Colissimo or 4-5 days via Mondial Relay.

The model car is no longer in stock, when will you have it?
