Not a Grac or a Marcadier and the engine is not a Renault.
Earlier than 1973.

Here's another two images of the car - maybe not much help but it may jog someone's memory?

It's a Barquette by Mr Jonez from Nevers.
Title: Re: MJW #1071
Post by: Paul Jaray on January 31, 2013, 03:35:25 PM
...at least this is what you can find online about...but a nice book about these kind of cars reports: "2 sponsors, Boutique Junior de Langres and the Auto School Bablon plus an Echappement sticker are the only clues..." and about the Jonez "Built a Barquette in 1969 with a R16TS engine in Nevers" but you said it's Alfa engined and it seems younger.

Correct name - Jonnez JP1.
Title: Re: MJW #1071
Post by: woodinsight on February 01, 2013, 01:31:19 AM
Yes, it's the Jonnez (correct spelling - thank you Dzima) JP1 of 1969.

It was built by Bernard Jonnez of Nevers and was originally fitted with a Renault 16RTS engine. It was later replaced by an Alfa Romeo engine (unknown model) possibly in 1970.

PJ earns the point....

Thank you.
I found it as 'Jonnez' on the web and 'Jonez' on that book and I thought the book was right!
