This 1928 Renault Type PG2 Vivasix Green takes us back to the golden age of French automobiles, when the diamond brand was already revolutionizing the automotive industry. This faithfully reproduced miniature captures the essence of an era when French elegance and robustness dominated European roads.
A true witness to automotive history, this 1/43 scale reproduction is aimed at collectors passionate about Renault heritage and exceptional vehicles from the 1920s.
The Renault Type PG2 Vivasix represented in 1928 the culmination of Louis Renault's research in six-cylinder engines. Launched to compete with the prestigious American automobiles flooding the European market, this sedan embodied French craftsmanship in the premium segment.
Equipped with a 1.5-liter inline six-cylinder engine, the Vivasix developed remarkable power for the time, enabling speeds of 85 km/h. Its robust chassis and elegant body made it a prestigious automobile, favored by the French bourgeoisie and demanding professionals.
This Renault marked a crucial step in the technical evolution of the brand, foreshadowing the future innovations that would make the Boulogne-Billancourt manufacturer globally renowned.
In 1928, Renault dominated the French automobile market thanks to a constant innovation strategy initiated by Louis Renault early in the century. The company, building on its experiences gained during the Great War with the production of the famous FT tank, applied its industrial expertise to civilian automobiles.
This prosperous period for the brand corresponds to the golden age of the French automotive industry. Renault invested heavily in research and development, particularly in multicylinder engine technologies, positioning its vehicles as technical and aesthetic benchmarks in the emerging European market.
The Renault Type PG2 Vivasix had a unique fate in French social history. Adopted by many doctors, lawyers, and industrialists of the time, it quickly became a symbol of bourgeois success in the Roaring Twenties. Its prized green color was associated with respectability and refinement.
A delightful anecdote recounts that in 1929, during the Paris Motor Show, the Vivasix was chosen as the official vehicle to transport political figures attending the event. Its reliability and comfort impressed foreign dignitaries so much that several government orders were placed to equip European diplomatic fleets.
This international recognition greatly contributed to the glory of the French automotive industry abroad, paving the way for future massive exports of French cars to colonies and partner countries.
This Renault Type PG2 Vivasix occupies a prominent place in the world of historic miniatures. It fits perfectly into collections dedicated to 1920s vehicles and is an ideal addition to other period Renault models.
Collectors passionate about vintage French automobiles will particularly appreciate this reproduction for its historical fidelity and rarity. It harmoniously dialogues with other vintage miniatures, creating a coherent ensemble representative of automotive evolution in the early 20th century.
This miniature is aimed at both seasoned collectors and novices eager to start a themed collection around Renault heritage or 1/43 scale vehicles, the reference scale for automotive history enthusiasts.

In addition to the fact that the 1/43 miniatures received are perfectly in line with the photographs and my expectations and are of great finesse, they arrived very quickly (I was even informed of the shipment) and very carefully packaged. Very satisfied, I placed a new order with Bernard Miniatures, a seller I recommend for their selection and reliability.

The scale is the reduction ratio between the real car and the model. At 1:43 scale, for example, every centimetre of the model represents 43 centimetres of the real vehicle.
In practice, a 1:18 Ferrari model is about 25–30 cm long, while at 1:43 it measures roughly 10 cm.
Our model cars mainly come in 1:43, 1:24, 1:18 and 1:87 (HO) scale. The scale is always listed on the product page.
The smaller the second number, the bigger the model (e.g. 1:18 is larger than 1:43).
Yes, every model car ships in its protective box. The box preserves its collector value and protects your model from dust and knocks.
We pack every order with great care: bubble wrap, snug padding and polystyrene. Your model car is fully secured on its way to you.
In-stock items ship within 24–48h. Allow 2–3 business days for mainland France with Colissimo, or 4–5 days with Mondial Relay.
I can't say exactly when new stock will arrive, as it comes in a trickle. Feel free to contact me and I'll let you know as soon as it's available.
