Not to my knowledge, although Citroen was very aware and supportive of this project.

To be honest, I am not 100% sure, but I don't think he was.

Not de Clabot, and I don't think the builder made any other cars after this one.

Is the builder known for another kind of activity (design, architecture, engineering...) ?

His regular everyday job was totally unconnected with cars, involving both a degree of design, architecture and engineering (and no, I am not joking!)
