is it a modified/rebodied production car like a Delahaye?

Wendax · « **Reply #3 on:** June 10, 2018, 08:32:37 AM »

I don't know, as I have just the name of the car, of the driver and the venue. I wasn't able to find out more about the car.

That front suspension looks very Talbot-Lago. Is it the Talbot-Plate?

Wendax · « **Reply #9 on:** June 12, 2018, 02:07:21 AM »

As I said before, I just have a name (and it is none of the known ones). The radiator star wasn't put there by me.

Is it on the internet somewhere?

Wendax · « **Reply #11 on:** June 13, 2018, 02:29:05 AM »

It still was a few days ago, but I can't find it right now.

Do we know that it is post war?

Wendax · « **Reply #13 on:** June 13, 2018, 04:14:27 PM »

Yes, at least the photo was taken after the war.

Is the venue a circuit or a hillclimb?

Wendax · « **Reply #15 on:** June 21, 2018, 02:27:29 AM »

If I recall it right, it was a circuit.

tobytwirl · « **Reply #16 on:** June 22, 2018, 06:45:42 AM »

A reasonably well known one like Pau?

Wendax · « **Reply #17 on:** June 22, 2018, 07:27:06 AM »

Now I found my source again. It was on a well-known circuit, but not Pau.

Is it an FS, a Chaucy or a Georget? ( I've never heard of any of them but they raced in 1948)
