Who knows the builder of this car?

I do only know his name and a year - any additional information would be highly appreciated.

BSA Scout, with a French body?

[grobmotorix]

BSA Scout - No.
This car is some years older than 1935, so it can not be a BSA Scout...

French bodywork - Yes.

[ropat53]

Rosengart?

[grobmotorix]

I do not know - it would be your task to convince me...

Was the picture sourced from a contemporary Germany magazine?

[grobmotorix]

I saw this picture in American, German and Austrian contemporary magazines - the guy obviously did professional PR back then...

Could it be a Bunau-Varilla design?

[grobmotorix]

Sure, however I do not know - if you could prove it...

[barrett]

So that's not the name you have?

I only know Bunau-Varilla patented at least one type of coachwork where the entire rear section lifted to allow easy access. I only know of one example built, on a Bugatti, which obviously isn't this, but thought it could be an improvement of that design.

Is the name you have known, at all, in the automotive field?

[grobmotorix]

I also want this toi be solved - so I will help a bit:

the first name of the builder/presenter was Leo

[pnegyesi]

Leo Levy?

Bunau-Varilla
de Levaud
Levy

[Wendax]

The man is Leo Bazin.

Two points for you.
