Description
This rare car is from August 1919 and one of the first to come of the industrial chain at the Quai de Javel in Paris.
It started its life as a 4 seater sedan but in WWII the body was sold as scrap leaving a rolling chassis which was rebuild just after the war.
As iron was very scarce early fifties, the body was built from wood and covered with moleskin (leather), built as a two-seater doctor's coupe. It served faithfully until 1988 when it ended up in a barn in the Provence, France, where it was discovered in 2011 as a barn find.
Throughout the last 10 years the technique has been overhauled, engine, gearbox, brakes and drive train have been restored. The exterior and the artisan interior are untouched and left in oily rag condition.
3 gears forward and 1 reverse gear, braking through the handbrake on the rear wheels or by foot stopping the drive shaft.
The antique suitcases are optional and can be bought separately.
This very rare car has sex-appeal and attracts everybody’s attention ideal to put her as an eye-catcher in a showroom, exhibition, window display or just drive her to old-timer meetings.
She will be the talk f the town!
