Up up up...

Over and out?

Hmmm... FWD or AWD racer?

Djetset · « **Reply #4 on:** December 17, 2009, 09:12:09 AM »

Not sure from the limited information i have. Sorry!

Joao Gois · « **Reply #5 on:** December 17, 2009, 09:31:47 PM »

But those are driveshafts I see on the front, right?

Djetset · « **Reply #6 on:** December 18, 2009, 07:21:50 AM »

They sure look like them.

Chevallier?

As it's Christmas I will give you the point as you are close enough. It is La Chevallier 1100 du Bol d'Or of 1931. Well done, and have a very merry Festive season.

Sorry, I've found a pic of a Chevallier, from the Bol d'Or of 1934, but in my pic the car was slightly different.
It's written that it appeared in 1931, FWD and Ruby engined.
...merry Xmas to you!

Year and marque, please, plus what is this car's main claim to fame?

nicanary · « **Reply #14 on:** December 18, 2017, 01:14:19 PM »

Experts?

FrontMan · « **Reply #15 on:** December 18, 2017, 04:12:46 PM »

This is the 1934 Bol d'or winner, a Chevallier MG J4 special in the hands of MG agent Philippe Maillard-Brune. Presumably, that high tail was added a couple of years later?

You've correctly identified the car, and its main claim to fame, but some of your comments don't agree with my notes. According to my source, it is FWD and powered by a supercharged Ruby engine. I don't think MG had anything to do with it.

Anyway, a point to you.

I've had a closer look at all this, and I was too hasty in blasting through the internet stuff. The car pictured IS front-driven, and is nothing to do with MG. The car pictured is from 1935, and is a Chevallier. A 1934 version of the same make came second in that year's Bol d'or, behind the winning MG J4. I therefore return the generous donation of the "point", as it was not deserved. Salutations.

It is Chevallier, not Chevalier, and it is a repost: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2009-37/solved-djetset-242-la-chevallier-1100-du-bol-d'or-1931

Merged

Thanks to Wendax for merging the puzzles. My source had incorrectly spelt the marque name, and thus the confusion.

FrontMan - I will not deduct a point, you correctly identified the car even if you provided some incorrect information. No problem with me.
