It looks French.  Darmont related?
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.

I have to say it does look French, but the V-twin doesn't really fit unless it's a Darmont. The image is a bit unclear, and I can't see if that's sliding-pillar suspension. It could well be.

Is it British then?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

It raced in France but the builder is not from there.
His name is not related to Darmont as far as I know.

I have the builder's name and it's not any of the known ones. I couldn't find out if the car was known under a different name.

If it's any help, the usual French marques were Ruby-powered and that is most definitely a V-twin! I'm guessing it's a JAP.

I just know it's an air cooled twin and front drive...but there was another model, an RWD with a water-cooled four.

Did it race at the Bol d'Or ?

Go 150 km east of Bruxelles and you'll find the place.

The engine/chassis sketch looks very similar to the BSA 9 HP three wheeler
