Not a Georges Irat

Looks either French or Italian to me.
Let's go for France

Because it's!

French body on an Italian car!

woodinsight · « **Reply #5 on:** February 15, 2011, 08:25:14 AM »

Chassis -

Itala Model 61 perhaps?
Body - will have to search...

João · « **Reply #6 on:** February 15, 2011, 08:53:02 AM »

Yes! It's an Itala Tipo 61 !

Now the body,locked for you!

woodinsight · « **Reply #7 on:** February 15, 2011, 12:28:41 PM »

Alright I'll take the plunge.
I haven't found the exact car yet but it looks very similar to the bodies built in-house by Delage.
However I'll take a first guess at Galle

João · « **Reply #8 on:** February 15, 2011, 12:31:13 PM »

Good guess,but it's not a Gallé body..This coachbuilder bodied a lot of Bugattis

woodinsight · « **Reply #9 on:** February 15, 2011, 01:22:58 PM »

My second guess would be Figoni based on some similarities to the Bugatti 46 bodied by them

João · « **Reply #10 on:** February 15, 2011, 03:00:54 PM »

Not so classic as Figoni

woodinsight · « **Reply #11 on:** February 16, 2011, 04:33:07 AM »

Gangloff (the French subsidiary of the Swiss coachbuilder)?

João · « **Reply #12 on:** February 16, 2011, 09:38:14 AM »

No,they made a lot of Torpédos....

woodinsight · « **Reply #13 on:** February 16, 2011, 10:26:36 AM »

Million Guiet?

João · « **Reply #14 on:** February 16, 2011, 10:35:17 AM »

No,sorry.

woodinsight · « **Reply #15 on:** February 16, 2011, 11:21:53 AM »

I have to say I'm not that familiar with 1920s/1930s coachbuilt cars except for the more obvious ones.
However, I'm learning......!
I'll have another guess at Ansart & Teisseire as they built a similar type of body on a Renault NN chassis in 1928.

João · « **Reply #16 on:** February 16, 2011, 11:41:18 AM »

Not by Ansart & Teisseire,but you're getting there!

woodinsight · « **Reply #17 on:** February 17, 2011, 07:15:10 AM »

I'm afraid I haven't seen the significance of your clue yet.
In the meantime I'll go for Billeter & Cartier of Lyon.
I'm still working my way through a list of possibles - quite a few perhaps.....

João · « **Reply #18 on:** February 17, 2011, 09:52:21 AM »

Not Billeter & Cartier

woodinsight · « **Reply #19 on:** February 17, 2011, 12:31:39 PM »

If I may ask a question - is the coachbuilder a well-known name or somewhat obscure?

Lavocat & Marsaud?

João · « **Reply #22 on:** February 17, 2011, 08:41:50 PM »

Yes,carrossée par Lavocat & Marsaud!

The clue :

Thank you - I enjoyed solving it even though I didn't tie it up with your first clue.
