What's this and from when, for 1 point !

Looks like the picture was taken in a Mediterranean country...

Could it be Greece?

SACO · January 29, 2014, 04:58:19 PM

Not in Greece !

AlexFrance · January 29, 2014, 05:21:47 PM

... France?

SACO · January 30, 2014, 01:27:36 AM

Yes !

BERTRAND · January 30, 2014, 03:10:07 AM

Hello Saco

, Perhaps a connection with ''La Licorne"

AlexFrance · January 30, 2014, 03:11:34 AM

Citroën or Panhard based?

SACO · January 30, 2014, 01:48:23 PM

Hello Bertrand !
No connection with ''La Licorne"

I knew I had seen these wheels before...

Ok, so these wheels very much look like they come from a Panhard Dyna X, is the chassis from that model too?

SACO · January 31, 2014, 01:31:42 AM

Not really !

AlexFrance · January 31, 2014, 05:49:43 AM

Ok, so is the engine from Panhard?

SACO · January 31, 2014, 06:40:15 AM

Doubtless !

AlexFrance · January 31, 2014, 01:03:10 PM

Is the engine at the rear?

SACO · January 31, 2014, 02:11:20 PM

Not rear engine !
Unlocked

Experts !

AlexFrance · February 08, 2014, 06:17:50 AM

Is it a one-off?

SACO · February 08, 2014, 09:21:01 AM

Doubtless !

AlexFrance · February 09, 2014, 03:09:31 PM

Is the chassis French as well?

SACO · February 09, 2014, 04:02:36 PM

Yes !

AFG Gregoire prototype. Experimental car with cast alloy chassis and aluminum air cooled twin. After long story it ended as a prototype at Hartnett Australia. The Panhard Dyna X used some ideas and experiences and made it fit for mass production. Gregoire -of course since you know his temper- sued Panhard and had some success in that after many years. Delagarde's Panhard engine was distinctly different (more modern hi-rev motorcycle type). The AFG's alloy frame was beautifully engineered but very complicate/expensive t build. Bionier made a clever combination of the Dynamique experiences of subframe and monocoque...
