Identify the nationality, full name, which engine it used and when it was built - you'll be rewarded with a point if your answer is correct.

woodinsight · August 08, 2012, 01:15:57 PM

No, it's not Italian

Wendax · August 08, 2012, 01:44:45 PM

French?

Wendax · August 09, 2012, 06:46:45 AM

Or Czech?

woodinsight · August 09, 2012, 07:06:16 AM

It's French I believe....certainly the engine and driver are French.

Wendax · August 09, 2012, 07:10:14 AM

Simca engine?

woodinsight · August 11, 2012, 03:47:15 PM

The engine is not a Simca......
Just to add a snippet of information - this car is French but the only race I can trace that it competed is not France...

LOCKED for you to come up with some more information.

Correct! with Pierre Rougol driving.
Strange name for a car don't you think?
Another point for you.

SACO · July 09, 2014, 11:29:46 AM

What's this, for 1 point ? :)

SACO · July 18, 2014, 08:59:24 AM

Experts !

The hub caps suggest it's a VW based special?
It's RHD so is it from Australia?
