Base Dauphine (3 speeds) of course but completely cut to make a coupe 2 doors ... helped by a sheet metal worker friend, they made plans, drawings inspired by ... Alpine A106 / A108 and old Porsche 356 ... It was built in St Marcel (71) .. . he told me "to have hit with mallets" to form this beautiful car ....

Finally, it had to be approved.(we were living through a hell of a time ...); they got help from a Renault dealer friend in Paris and got a registration card .... all that remained was to insure it .... no insurer wanted this prototype ...

He drove with it for 1 year and then sold it .... its new owner near Dole was will fly it, find it but the engine box assembly was missing .... it will mount another mechanism but will destroy it in a road accident .... Daniel Jupille will find it in a junkyard a little later, rather banged up and already partly crushed ... unrecoverable!
