I have a slightly different spelling of this manufacturer's name - same number of letters but the last one is different.
Locked for you.

I only know this one from several books. The Roussey 700 was shown at the Salon de Paris in 1948 and 1949. The Roussey brothers were located at Meudon, and they mainly built scooters. This car was only a prototype and never reached production. The car doesn't exist anymore.

I was going to point out that the car has appeared in a long-tailed form (the first one?) and with a cut-off rear end (2nd modified form?)
Carnut's latest photo shows the long version whereas the puzzle car is the short version.

I have two good photos of the car (one in short and one in long-tailed form).
The problem in posting them is they are both covered in large watermarks....... :-\
