You are right!

What's the story behind this machine?
Who built it, when and for what reason?
For the point a full and complete answer is necessary.

Yes, you have the correct car.
The name Strapp is mis-spelt (probably taken from inaccurate information of your source)
Can you provide the correct spelling and also what engine(s) were used?
LOCKED for you until your next reply.

The answer can be found elsewhere within AutoPuzzles

I've done a mistake: this "car" (probably named Jupiter) was built by Renè Stapp, a French racing driver who puts into his creature two Bristol Jupiter radial aero engines.

Correct Thorax - Rene Stapp was the name I was looking for.
One point for you.

I had no idea this was a repost.
Can someone merge it please.......

Just to add a little to the story - apparently the car was destroyed by fire at La Baule in the mid-1930s.

Another picture of Stapp's car which was also called Mademoiselle France:

The only name I knew for this car was Meteor.

Now we have three versions...

grobmotorix · « **Reply #21 on:** June 19, 2014, 07:24:20 PM »

What is strange is the fact that the Duesenberg Model SJ Mormon METEOR Speedster was driven by Ab Jenkins and Babe STAPP in 1935.
Pure coincidence, I´m sure.
