Hmmm, interesting front suspension. I wonder if the coil spring is in tension rather than the usual compression?

Violet's Cyclecar 500-3.

Exactly. First shown at the 1960 Salon de l'Auto. The letters of the racing body are clearly shown on the car, but the Experts didn't seem to realise.  It was built for the short-lived French 3-wheeled 500cc formula.
