Looks like an 8-cylinder powered racecar. Is it a stillborn project from a more or less known maker?

The car was built, but probably never with this body.

Bugatti, by any chance?

Another French make?

Yes

I'm thinking of Delage, maybe a drawing of Type 15 S8 from 1927?
Title: Re: Wendax 1114

Not a Delage

Maybe a Talbot?

No

I used to say "when in doubt, guess Salmson" but this one seems to have the exhaust on the left, so probably not.

8-cylinder Amilcar?
Title: Re: Wendax 1114
Post by: Wendax on January 10, 2014, 06:21:54 AM
Neither Salmson nor Amilcar

It looks like late-20s in design, and by then Darracq had become Talbot, so there's not much left. Is this an aborted Hispano-Suiza project?

Hotchkiss?

I think there is nothing wrong with your eyes.  ;)

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

You'll see, it's easy.  ;)

Peugeot?
Title: Re: Wendax 1114
Post by: Wendax on 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?

Not a Voisin, try again.  ;)

Yes, which one?
Title: Re: Wendax 1114
Post by: grobmotorix on January 10, 2014, 12:09:57 PM
Was it build upon a  ca. 1926-27 Bucciali TAV 11 CV?
Title: Re: Wendax 1114
Post by: pnegyesi on 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.

Was it the AB6 race car with a bigger engine?

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.
Title: Re: Wendax 1114
Post by: Wendax on 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.
Title: Re: Wendax 1114
Post by: pnegyesi on January 10, 2014, 04:31:17 PM
bucciali tav8?
Title: Re: Wendax 1114
Post by: Paul Jaray on January 10, 2014, 04:49:41 PM
TAV30?
I was going to say TAV16, but you ruled that out.
Title: Re: Wendax 1114
Post by: Wendax on January 10, 2014, 05:11:25 PM
Paul is right: it is a TAV 30.

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