The Rookies and Expert have more than enough puzzles to keep them out of trouble at the moment, so I am placing this one directly into the Pros section, although naturally everyone is free to answer.

So, for a point please can you tell me all you can about this car (e.g. who made it, engine, etc.)

Wheels are from a (Simca-)Fiat...

Djetset · « **Reply #2 on:** November 08, 2010, 05:02:15 PM »

Well spotted, but I don't think anything else on the car is Simca and/or Fiat.

It was a form of Midget racer.

Marius Dal Bo built car with a Lancia engine.

I'm impressed Faksta! Very well done. It is a Lancia-powered one-off, being raced in Annecy, France, by its creator Marius Dal Bo (of Pygmee racing car fame) in the very early 1950s.

I have just remembered where I have seen it before (I was sure I have), although it was a different photo.
