This is interesting - Eugene Martin was a well-known French racing driver of the time, and took to developing performance equipment for the Peugeot 203. Together with his father he produced a 203-based coupe which was shown at the 1952 Paris Salon, but never went into production. He eventually assisted Salmson in creating the 2300 Sport.

This car is however, a barquette, not a coupe. Do any of our French members know what this car is exactly? Did Martin also produce bodies for the 203 chassis, rather like the British kit-car makers of the 1950s?

It is not mentioned in Pagneux's book about the Peugeot 203 and 403.

I looked up the sale details on LVA and it simply claims that the car is unique. It also claims that it has 3 carbs, which is a bit odd for a 4-cylinder engine.
