SOLVED
:o :thumbsup:
Let´s see what our experts know about this...
Hispano by Million-Guiet?....can't prove a thing at present, but what a fine looking machine. A good 30 metres to the front must have been in a blind spot!

:D
It couldn't race with a number so loosely attached, could it be an entry in a concours d'elegance?
Edit: Just noticed that the retoucher appears to have made a deliberate mistake continuing the wing (fender) line downwards in front of the front wheel. Why?

I think that´s right.
Regarding the front fender line: I´m not sure if the whole front bumper has been added by the retoucher afterwords...
with such a design i guess it could be a Voisin
Well - I can feel the spirit of Voisin in this car, too.
But I do miss the significant cooler mascot:
i gather it's from France by the look of the spectators,maybe in the parc de Bagatelle in Paris?
Monaco GP as said in the text...
Isotta Fraschini by Saoutchik
Is this just a guess or can you PM me a link or something as proof?
no just a guess as i searched for Bugatti Royale and fell on Bucciali and after searching.............. ;)
1930 Ballot?
Well, I can´t tell...
I think it is time to move this up.
I stumbled across the (possible) original (b/w monochrome) image and all the caption says is "Monaco Grand Prix Contest, Monte Carlo, 1933."
Yes, that´s all I also knew...
To the black hole...

Super!
Two points for you!
Now it would be percfect to find out the coachbuilding company...
Albert Martin designed it.
In a 7-page article, there are all the results of that Concours. Owners, cars and Coachbuilders.
"An original aerodynamic coachwork designed by Albert Martin on a Delage chassis"
Perfect :)
I do not know my self, of course,
but now I found a photo of a Million Guiet bodied Hispano Suiza, which looks quite similar.
Just my guess - what do the others think - could they have built it for Mr. Albert Martin?
I can only tell you this: in 1938 (or 1937 doesn't matter) there was a Concours d'Elegance in Budapest, Hungary which was won by a Mr Höke and his Alfa Romeo. In Hungary all reports said that Mr Höke built the body. It is only now that the truth came to light: Mr Höke comissioned Worblaufen to build the body for him.
That´s what I also think - I gueuss some renowned coachbuilding company has built this bodywork.
One source reports this car once belonged to M. and Mme Peraldi and it was Renè Thomas's car. It also claims it is from 1926, but it can't be.
New pics of the car !
