Year make and model, please, plus what made the car almost unique?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Yes. LOCKED for Roman1986 - this car had an unusual feature. What was it?

Apparently Air springs!

That's right, and the point is yours. It had self-levelling suspension with 4 separate bottles of compressed air, one at each corner.

The engine was a 10hp Chapuis-Dornier.
