What is this car, and who built it ?

If it can't be solved in the Experts I don't see why it can be solved in the Pros, but here you are.

DFC Gordini Gr.6, driven by Jean Michel Coll, 1976; built by Michel Dalmas und Jean Pierre Fernandez

nicanary

Correct, although I have the name as DFB.  Everything else is right - can you confirm the correct name ?

I am als not sure, if it's correctly called 'DFB' or 'DFC'
As I think that the designation contains the initials of the two builders names (Dalmas, Fernandez), the 'C' may be correct for 'Competition' or 'Construction'. Possibly..

nicanary

Thanks. I thought the B may be for barquette. Your information is probably correct. One more point.

Oh yes, 'B' for 'barquette' is a great idea, my third guess for 'C' would be for 'Coll', the driver (maybe owner?) of the car...
Other 'Dalmas-Fernandez'-creations are designatedwith a number after their initials (DF5, DF6,..)
