Chassis Number: 18372
This Group 4 berlinetta, series number 18372, body number 6387, is a type 1600VC. The A110 1800 was registered on April 3, 1973, with the number 3697 HK 76. It has a heavy Morocco-type body, of which eight examples were constructed in Dieppe and registered between March and April 1973. According to the archives of Gilbert Harivel, racing team mechanics manager, it was bought during 1975 by racing driver Jean Pierre Nicolas, who had taken over the family garage in Marseille. Shortly afterwards, a young medical student, with the same name as the well-known racing driver but not related, became the new owner of the car, with 44,000 km on the clock. He stored it in a garage, where it stayed for the next 38 years! Untouched for nearly four decades, the car was bought in 2014 by an enthusiast Renault dealer, one of the last major barn-find discoveries. He launched into a full restoration of the highest quality. A connoisseur, he knew to approach renowned professionals, and was careful to conserve the authenticity and original condition of the car.
