So, Tracta?

Wendax · January 10, 2014, 08:24:39 AM

No

I will have to resign. FWD straight-8? French? Well-known marque? I have run out of ideas!

Wendax · January 10, 2014, 08:31:38 AM

You'll see, it's easy.

faksta · January 10, 2014, 08:38:24 AM

Peugeot?

Wendax · January 10, 2014, 08:44:24 AM

No.

I didn't mean easy as in "Think of a French car", but as in "Think of a classic French FWD car with a straight-eight engine".

~~Bucciali?~~

Voisin?

Wendax · January 10, 2014, 09:11:19 AM

Not a Voisin, try again.

pnegyesi · January 10, 2014, 11:03:52 AM

Bucciali?

Wendax · January 10, 2014, 11:37:27 AM

Yes, which one?

grobmotorix · January 10, 2014, 12:09:57 PM

Was it build upon a ca. 1926-27 Bucciali TAV 11 CV?

pnegyesi · January 10, 2014, 12:25:19 PM

I think it was a Bucciali TAN

The TAV 1 and TAV 2 from 1926/1927 had four-cylinder SCAP engines, so it's not them.

No

pnegyesi · January 10, 2014, 02:40:47 PM

Was it the AB6 race car with a bigger engine?

Wendax · January 10, 2014, 02:48:12 PM

No

Might this be the 1930/31 Bucciali Double Huit using a proposed U-16 engine (really two straight 8's side by side)? A chassis was shown in Paris and New York, but the engine was a mock-up which was never actually built.

Wendax · January 10, 2014, 03:30:16 PM

Getting very close to the solution as this racer was also proposed as a 16-cylinder car, but this drawing comes from the brochure of another Bucciali.

pnegyesi · January 10, 2014, 04:31:17 PM

bucciali tav8?

Paul Jaray · January 10, 2014, 04:49:41 PM

TAV30?
I was going to say TAV16, but you ruled that out.

Wendax · January 10, 2014, 05:11:25 PM

Paul is right: it is a TAV 30.

Wendax · January 10, 2014, 05:19:12 PM

And a similar body proposal for TAV 30 and Double Huit:
