It's a  Bouffort, equipped with a Citroen traction engine and suspension.
Victor Bouffort was a french builder active from 1945 to 1960.

Bouffort is correct; the car on which this example is based (I'm told) is different that what you have posted.

[/quote) I found it on the same forum as you (I believe) http://www.forum-auto.com/automobiles-mythiques-exception/section5/sujet152251-46550.htm , before you changed the picture to black and white. I know no more.

I checked elsewhere (where you more probably saw it), and it's identified as a 1946 Jamin-Bouffort 3-wheeler. This may be more correct, although the Citroen engine and suspension can still be relevant.

Ray B.'s link also shows a cockpit photo which has a Citroen Traction Avant gearlever sticking out of the dashboard.
The coupe version is referred to as having Citroen Traction origins.

The site at which I found it (mis)identified the car as a Panhard 24CT / Jamin-Bouffort.

Nicely done, gents!

That can be the trouble with beileving what you find on websites! No QA on most of 'em, sadly.

Victor Bouffort and his friend __? Jamin built this wing-doored two-seater in 1945/46. It was equipped with a Citroen 11CV engine.
Only two cars had been made. Supposedly both of them still exist.

Supposedly both of them still exist.

Citroën Traction-based ?

[SACO]

Yes !

[oko94]

I can read "GD" on the top of the grille, are they the initials of the builder ?

[Wendax]

Is it from Switzerland?

[SACO]

I don't think that it is GD !

[SACO]

Not from Switzerland !

Probably I will give it away, but now I can't look for it. I remember this car being discussed in another place, expecially for that logo on the side, very Hispano-Suiza-like...I'm afraid it's one of the pics I lost.

If you think of this one: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=27009.0 , it looks like a different car.

[Wendax]

Is it French, despite the accompanying VWs?

Exactly! Thank you...here's explained why it was not in my hd.
But the logo is the same, isn't it?
Are they related?
