This time an older one:

For one point, please respond and identify the car, the year and the engine.

The good old times are Expert times.

Chenard & Walcker 1925 Le Mans Tank ?

Non, monsieur!

But you are heading in the right direction.

Is this one of those Wolseley Hornet Specials?

Wendax · « **Reply #5 on:** February 08, 2011, 12:45:30 PM »

Getting colder

A long shot - Bugatti Type 32 ?

The experts have shown the direction, but it seems to take a pro to finish it up.

E.H.P. DT Speciale
(E.H.P. stands for Ets. Henri Pecloux)
Engine is a 4 cyl. in-line of 1496cc
Competed at 24 Heures du Mans in 1926 driven by Guy Bouriat and Louis Dollfus.
Retired on the 34th. lap with engine trouble.

Wendax · « **Reply #10 on:** February 15, 2011, 04:31:16 AM »

That's the one. I have EHP as Ets. Henri Précioux. Just to complete the answer before I give you the point, who made the engine? BTW, it is a six cylinder engine, not a four.
Locked for you until your next reply.

woodinsight · « **Reply #11 on:** February 15, 2011, 06:06:52 AM »

The engine is by C.I.M.E.
My source says the engines fitted to the 1495/1496cc cars competing at Le Mans were 4 cylinder.
Maybe a misprint in my book.
Anyway - another view of this unusual car -

woodinsight · « **Reply #12 on:** February 15, 2011, 06:17:13 AM »

BTW - it should be Ets. Henri Precloux (with an accent over the 'e')
I have seen it written as Precioux also but later being corrected to Precloux

Wendax · « **Reply #13 on:** February 15, 2011, 06:29:48 AM »

C.I.M.E. is what I was looking for. Point well-earned.

Regarding the other questions, I will have a look in my books next week-end, as right now I only have some notes at hand.

Wendax · « **Reply #14 on:** February 15, 2011, 06:33:33 AM »

the unretouched pic, a frontal one and one of the Le Mans race 1926

Wendax · « **Reply #15 on:** February 19, 2011, 02:23:18 PM »

I think it is Précloux instead of Précioux. A very trustive French source told me so. Unfortunately, I found no further proof for the six-cylinder engine, as EHP has used both fours and sixes of 1500 cc.

I agree as I stated in reply #12.
I'll continue to look for the answer of whether 4 or 6 cylinder engines were used and post any findings here.
Thanks Wendax

What's this, for 1 point ?

FrontMan · « **Reply #18 on:** July 27, 2016, 01:26:08 PM »

Salmson VAL3, re-bodied in the early 30s.

SACO · « **Reply #19 on:** July 27, 2016, 03:01:38 PM »

Not a Samson VAL3 !

Ariès?

Not Aries !

Georges-Irat?

Lorenzo721 · « **Reply #23 on:** July 31, 2016, 01:26:10 AM »

I agree with FrontMan for a Georges Irat. That seems to be the company's radiator.
