Donor is fairly easy, but the coachbuilder will be difficult - so a point for both. And I won't lock if you ID the chassis.

This may seem obvious, but was it built and/or used for racing?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #12 on:** September 11, 2019, 10:19:13 PM »

I don't think so.

Couple of things:
- Though this was clearly marked a Citroen Sport bodied by XXX, the man who coachbuilt this car is sometimes being referred to as a brand on its own right
- The man who bodied this car was a very well-known French airplane engineer.

Check whether an automobile manufacturer existed with the name - that narrows it down (hopefully)
