Wendax · August 23, 2013, 02:22:15 AM

I don't know whether this little racer has a name of its own, but I just want to know its base.

For one point, please respond and identify the base of this car.

How about a Morris 10 or 12 of around 1938 as the donor car?

Wendax · September 06, 2013, 03:45:02 AM

Not a Morris

sixtee5cuda · September 06, 2013, 09:13:56 AM

British?

Wendax · September 06, 2013, 10:42:27 AM

No

nicanary · September 07, 2013, 05:28:03 AM

French ?

Wendax · September 07, 2013, 06:03:36 AM

Oui

nicanary · September 07, 2013, 06:48:41 AM

It seems to be road-registered. Is it maybe based on a Simca 8 ?

Wendax · September 07, 2013, 02:20:21 PM

Not Simca-based

nicanary · September 07, 2013, 07:00:28 PM

Rosengart ?

Wendax · September 08, 2013, 03:21:17 AM

Yes, locked for you to have a guess at the base model.

nicanary · September 08, 2013, 05:52:00 AM

8CV Six ?

Wendax · September 08, 2013, 06:44:46 AM

Not a six-cylinder. One more try before I unlock.

nicanary · September 08, 2013, 06:46:46 AM

5CV ?

Wendax · September 08, 2013, 06:52:46 AM

It is not the 5 CV (LR 49), but you are close.

Unlocked.

75america · September 08, 2013, 07:07:13 AM

4 CV?

Wendax · September 08, 2013, 07:30:54 AM

I need a model name and the LR-number.

nicanary · September 08, 2013, 08:00:01 AM

LR42N ?

Wendax · September 08, 2013, 08:07:05 AM

I think you mean the right one, but you have to switch a number and a letter, and I need the model name too.

nicanary · September 08, 2013, 09:33:42 AM

LR4N2 Super 5 ?

Wendax · September 08, 2013, 09:42:19 AM

Yes, now this point is yours. It seems to be a quite recently built special, powered by a 950 cc Reliant engine.

One more point for you.

nicanary · September 08, 2013, 10:24:25 AM

I think the Reliant engine is now one of the range accepted by the 750 Register for power units, since the original Austin 7hp motors are getting a bit old and scarce. As the Rosengart is in effect a licensed Austin, maybe the French owner intends to use the car in 750MC races ?

Wendax · September 08, 2013, 11:03:01 AM

Perhaps, I just know the very short sales ad.
