Is it French?

D-type · September 19, 2017, 02:57:01 PM

A postwar BMW-based car? An AFM perhaps.

SACO · October 24, 2017, 10:47:46 AM

Sorry for the delay !
A French BMW !
I just know the driver who is perhaps the builder !

D-type · October 25, 2017, 10:09:57 AM

Is it actually a Veritas? Diplomatically renamed with a politically acceptable French name?

Marcel Balsa ran a 328 engine sports/racer in the early 50s, in addition to his F2 car. Any connection?

SACO · October 26, 2017, 11:51:35 AM

The driver of the puzzles-car ran also a 328 engine sports/racer in the early 50s, in addition to his F2 car , and in the same races !
Locked for you !

Not Jean Caillas !

It looks rather Gordini like, but I have never heard of a BMW powered Gordini except for one built by German driver Roland Mall.

I am running out of straws to clutch.

SACO · November 01, 2017, 03:40:32 PM

Not Roland Mall.!
Sorry but unlocked !

tobytwirl · November 06, 2017, 08:51:03 PM

I have never heard of Roger Deho involved with anything other than Simca, so can we eliminate him?

tobytwirl · November 06, 2017, 09:16:17 PM

Is Pierre Flahaut involved?

SACO · November 08, 2017, 02:36:44 AM

Not Roger Deho !

SACO · November 08, 2017, 02:37:46 AM

And not Pierre Flahaut !

Can I just check I have understood this correctly? This is a French BMW based car known by the name of its driver, who is therefore also French. This same driver also had an f2 car - presumably also French. Presumably it carried the same name? Is the 328 engined car you mention, the puzzle car.

SACO · November 10, 2017, 04:44:01 AM

Yes !
