SOLVED: Djetset #418 - La Douille 4CV barquette

[Djetset]

Not a Rispal.

Galtier?

[Djetset]

No.

Anything to do with Roger Breuil?

[Djetset]

Sorry, but not that I know of.

[woodinsight]

R.N.U.?
I think I need to ask some different questions next as it's not going to be solved this way.

[Djetset]

Sadly Woodinsight I don't know too much more about this 4CV-based car to add any futher clues.  Sorry!

[woodinsight]

Okay - no problems, I'll keep looking

[Otto Puzzell]

Chevallier?

[Djetset]

That sounds a bit like an old French singer/actor mashed up with a GM product 

Sorry, but not one of those!

Presumably this car has a racing history.
Do you know if it has competed in major international events?

[Djetset]

I spoke very briefly to the owner of this car who sadly had not had the car for long and knew little of its history.  He had been told thayt it had raced at Le Mans, but I don't think this is correct.  I shall double-check this later however and confirm or otherwise.  Beyond that, I really don't know too much more...

[woodinsight]

I'm pretty sure that this car did not race at Le Mans, but I'll double check the entries/photos again

[Otto Puzzell]

Georges Irat?

[woodinsight]

Could this be the La Douille constructed by Jean Douillard?

[Djetset]

At last. Well done Woodinsight, a good way to begin the New Year.  Do you know much more about the car?  Here's another photo.
 
Belated congratulations too in joining the Pros.  Life gets really tough now!

[woodinsight]

At the moment I don't have any more information but I'm still searching for further details.

Life in the Pros is probably hard (and a bit frustrating) but I will devote more time to posting group puzzles and writing some articles for the site.

Thanks and Happy New Year to you too.

That's a nice barquette!
