Racing driver Giraud-Cabantous presented a redesigned version of the prewar SEFAC 3.6-litre racer at Montlhery in 1947 but a lack of finance prevented it ever racing. Instead, Dommartin turned to a new design of SEFAC designer Emile Petit's - a curious open all-terrain vehicle. Under its open 4-seater forward-control bodywork lay an 800cc flat-twin air-cooled engine in the tail and 5-speed gearbox.
