Hello , matramurena ! congratulation for the car ! :)
I have no proof ; it is just a coincidence between the country, the engine and the shape of the car !
I add a question mark in the title !

The engine on the pictures provided to the internet are not from the original engine, They replaced it in the 70's for an simca 1500 engine.

Are there more pictures of the Havas circuit car?

You can delete the question mark in the title, this is the real deal.

I now know that the car on the picture with the number 70 is the exact same car as the Red own wich I own.

It was converted to a street car in the early 60's.

So it is not a street version, but the only Simca van As made.

A semi street version, we would like to race classic races with the car.
