It was raced in 1950 at Montlhery, but that wasn't its first race. The base car still not mentioned. Still locked for 24h or your next reply.

Escalle - right, but this car was based on another model of Peugeot.
Locked for you until next reply.

Well, I suppose you're talking about the 402.

But can it be online sources are talking about the same car, one time it's 302 based, another time it's the 402 based?
I found a picture online which shows the type (302) and chassis nr (761261), and on the same website I saw the same picture as in this puzzle.

Funny thing is, I saw this car in the flesh a couple of years ago in Chimay, even took some pictures

Sorry, but is a re-post - http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=17082.0

Vehicle offered for sale at PBA (Pierre Bergé & Associés) auction (and the year of construction - 1946

) It was called - Peugeot 402 Escalle. Chassis: No. 761261., driven by François- Joseph Escalle. But your photo with type 302

Too many contradictions for the car. Can anybody help me with this?

Making order in my folders, now I'm at letter 'E':

According to the info I have, Mr Escalle, drove a Peugeot 302 in the late 30s.
When he decided to built his special he put a 402 engine on the 302 chassis.
