CG #91 - Farman A6A? with Labourdette skiff coach work

[targhediferro]

The last French marque dressed by Labourdette with a skiff body that I know is Peugeot, so that's my guess even if I don't recognise the radiator's profile.

[Craig Gillingham]

Not a Peugeot.

I'm curious to know, is the skiff body on a 20's Peugeot, or are you referring to the Type 150? because I'd like to see a photo of a 20's Peugeot version.

Sizaire Frères ?

Lorraine-Dietrich Double Phaeton Skiff by Labourdette?

No, sorry.

Sizaire Frères ?

Not that either.

[4popoid]

I had already ruled out Sizaire Freres, but how about Sizaire Berwick?

[Craig Gillingham]

No, sorry.

It's from a very famous French company.

Yes the Peugeot I was talking about is the type 150, but I though it was possible that Labourdette made another one; for the same reason I guess Delage, even if the only Skiff Delage I know is different.

[Craig Gillingham]

I see, I thought it may have been a Type 156, which there are limited photos of. I understand that Type 150 with the skiff body is insured for some ridiculous figure, in the low millions, 2.5, I think.

No, not a Delahaye.

[Craig Gillingham]

Sorry, missed that. Not Delage.

Delaunay-Belleville ?

Talbot?

Theophile-Schneider?

Delaunay-Belleville ?

Talbot?

Theophile-Schneider?

None of those.

[SACO]

Farman ?

[4popoid]

I think SACO may be correct, but just in case he isn't: Unic?

[Craig Gillingham]

Farman ?

I think SACO may be correct, but just in case he isn't: Unic?

Well done, yes it's a Farman. I originally asked for the model as well, but I'm not 100% sure of this now. I think it's a 1921 or early 1922 A6A, but identifying the make is enough for the point. There is supposed to be a Farman book coming out next year, this car might be in it and have these details.
