There is a Fiat connection with the motor.

Another point to you! It's a F3 500cc car built by Rene Chaix in 1949 powered by a Simca Cinq motor.

Chaix has been on AP before - he built a Simca powered sports car and according to a well-known site about F3 cars, this single-seater was built from parts of that sports car. There's an old saying "you've never seen those two people in the same room" but in this instance we have. This photo proves that website is wrong.

Thanks - I couldn't be bothered! Clearly the F3 was NOT built from the sports car.
