Yes, it is the 1926 Sima-Violet Grand Prix car with a 1500 cc engine. One more point for you.

I think it was maybe a "step too far" for M.Violet. It was a 2-stroke engine as always, and I doubt if that transverse leaf spring was really suitable for top-line racing against Bugattis. None of the 3 cars entered managed to start the race. Georgano states that it was a Flat-4 and had no differential.
