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!

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

grobmotorix · « **Reply #8 on:** December 06, 2012, 12:20:11 AM »

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...

Is this just a guess or can you PM me a link or something as proof?

frederick59 · « **Reply #13 on:** December 09, 2012, 07:29:59 PM »

no just a guess as i searched for Bugatti Royale and fell on Bucciali and after searching..............

1930 Ballot?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #15 on:** December 10, 2012, 03:03:25 PM »

Well, I can´t tell...

I think it is time to move this up.

RayTheRat · « **Reply #16 on:** December 14, 2012, 07:24:45 PM »

I stumbled across the (possible) original (b/w monochrome) image and all the caption says is "Monaco Grand Prix Contest, Monte Carlo, 1933."

grobmotorix · « **Reply #17 on:** December 15, 2012, 07:14:35 PM »

Yes, that´s all I also knew...

Super!
Two points for you!

Now it would be percfect to find out the coachbuilding company...

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #22 on:** December 08, 2017, 05:01:11 AM »

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"

grobmotorix · « **Reply #23 on:** December 08, 2017, 05:02:27 AM »

Perfect

grobmotorix · « **Reply #24 on:** January 06, 2018, 06:14:11 PM »

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?
