The last puzzle just lasted a little more than an hour. Let's see how well this one will do.

For one point, please respond and identify the car and its engine.

Le Nivet!
It is the only remaining copy of a 3-wheel Nivet that ran and won the Bol d'Or in its class in 47 and 48 in Saint Germain then Montlhéry, piloted by Andre, probably a former pilot in Salmson.
Base is a DKW F7 and builder was Bernard Regnier
