1920 Rochet-Schneider Type 16500 For Sale by Auction

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' The Sáragga Collection event, 21 September 2019. Estimate:€50, 000 - €70, 000 A seldom-seen French-built automobileDesirable four-cylinder model The French-built Rochet-Schneider was produced from 1894–1932. Located in Lyon, the company was formed by Edouard Rochet, who made bicycles with his father, and Theophile Schneider. Initially, cars were Benz-like, then inspired by Panhard, and subsequently by Mercedes as evidenced by the V-shaped grille of this example. During WWI, the company made lorries for the Army, resuming auto production in 1918 with pre-war models. Following 1932, the firm concentrated on trucks and busses, having discontinued the production of automobiles. While Rochet-Schneider built both four- and six-cylinder models, this example is powered by a four-cylinder engine and is fitted with rear-mounted dual spare tires. Its lovely brass radiator and trim pieces, along with a wooden cowl, are quite typical of the cars of the earlier Brass Era, and it would be an interesting addition to any collection of French automobiles. Um raro automóvel de produção francesaDesejada versão de quatro cilindrosOs gauleses Rochet-Schneider foram produzidos entre 1894 e 1932. A firma estava sediada em Lyon e tinha tido origem na fusão entre Edouard Rochet, que produzia bicicletas juntamente com o seu pai, e Theophile Schneider. De início, os Rochet-Schneider eram parecidos com os Benz, depois inspiravam-se nos Panhard e, posteriormente, nos Mercedes, como fica patente graças à grelha em V desde exemplar. Durante Grande Guerra, a empresa fez camiões para o exército, voltando a produzir automóveis em 1918, com os mesmos modelos anteriores ao conflito. A seguir a 1932, dedicou-se à produção de camiões e autocarros, tendo concluído a produção de automóveis ligeiros. A Rochet-Schneider produziu automóveis tanto com quatro como com seis cilindros. Este exemplar tem o motor de quatro cilindros e está equipado com dois pneus sobresselentes montados atrás. O seu encantador radiador e várias decorações em latão, juntamente com o painel estruturante de madeira, são típicos dos automóveis mais antigos da Era do Latão. Este Rochet-Schneider seria uma interessante adição a qualquer coleção de automóveis franceses.
