Title: Barrett's #225 - Solved - 1968 Marsonetto Barquette
Post by: barrett on October 28, 2011, 02:44:52 PM: A bit of a mystery this one. What marque was behind this car, for a point. Any further details would be welcomed and possibly deserving of another point....

I'm shocked! I thought this would last much, much longer.... I've not been able to find out any more information about this car except from the website were I took the images from. How did you manage to find it, if you don't mind my asking?

Anyone able to provide anything else on this one? A period shot would be nice!

Title: Re: Barrett's #225 - Solved - 1968 La Marsonetto
Post by: woodinsight on October 29, 2011, 12:21:06 AM: You'll find several other Marsonettos have already been posted and solved on AP.

Mario Marsonetto was based in Lyon and was active 1957-1959 and 1965-1972.
I believe total production was 16 or more cars.

I don't know the model name of the puzzle car but I suggest you alter the marque to "Marsonetto" rather than "La Marsonetto" (the Marsonetto). It may make it easier for future searches.

I'm familiar with the other Marsonetto cars but I have never come across this one before and can't find any information about it anywhere beyond one website. That website does clearly call the call "La Marsonetto" but as I have no idea I'll change it back to just 'Marsonetto'.
This pictures I have are just the small ones that I have resized, so they are not that great, but here are the other views:
