pippy Posted October 13, 2020 Share #13723  Posted October 13, 2020 Pretty much 100%, Ronald. Louis Rosier, who had won Le Mans in 1950 driving a Talbot-Lena and had raced for - and had been a Formula 1 podium scorer with the likes of Ferrari and Maserati - teamed up with the carrosserie designer Rocco Motto to produce a 'Barchetta' flavoured small, light and fast car.

Rona!d Posted October 13, 2020 Share #13724  Posted October 13, 2020 Thanks Philip. Will find the next car after this night, badly need a nap. Initially thinking of an early Alpine (preproduction model) wasn‘t my greatest ideas here. I was too fixed on RDL 😉 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted October 14, 2020 Share #13726  Posted October 14, 2020 At one of the French classic car meets I went to in my Three Wheeler Morgan two years ago, someone had a board with photos advertising one of these Brissonneau cars as a restoration project, asking €1000. The dismal remains on the photos did not look to me to be worth much more than €10. I have just sold my ex-factory race car Midas GT, which I had never finished reassembling, after I acquired my 911 RSR. It had 95+% of the parts including a very low mileage1430cc "big block" Cooper S race engine, CR gearbox with competition pin diff, new suspension front and new rear beam axle plus loads of other new parts. I was glad to see the back of it for £750. Wilson 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted October 18, 2020 Share #13732 Â Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) Hmmm.....there would appear to be something a bit strange going on here. I immediately thought either Renault 3 or 4 as well but, having been told it isn't I now think the shape of (what little remains of) the bonnet is too curvy in any case. If the car is a cutaway demonstrator that means there seems to be a floor to what would normally be the engine compartment which, in turn, suggests a rear-mounted power unit so, thinking about those curves and the 'floor' in the front compartment, is it a Renault Dauphine with most of the bodywork cutaway?

Rona!d Posted October 18, 2020 Share #13733  Posted October 18, 2020 Philip, correct. A Dauphine cutaway in fullsize. Took a crop which shows the non existing motor in front along with the spare wheel - well spotted. Took the fender crop because all would suggest an R4 so you guys could easily find the right maker. End of the puzzle would be easy with such a mass production vehicle I thought. As a side note some of you might not know that the Dauphine was also sold under the Alfa Romeo brand and even made in Italy (Alfa was looking for a mass production equivalent to Fiat cars). That would have been my next little help which would have confused you a lot 😉 Welcome, dear visitor!

pippy Posted October 19, 2020 Share #13735  Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) OK; this dates from the time when chassis could be bodied in many different ways so I'm not asking for too much. Marque only is perfectly acceptable. Rough time-frame would be great. Anything else is gravy! Welcome, dear visitor!

Correct country; almost the correct date (actually 1913) and there was, oddly enough, a connection between certain leading figures of both companies although not quite as early as this particular car's date. Here's another slightly different front-view with the company badge blanked-out. Compare the very distinctive shape of the perimeter of the badge with the shape of the whole radiator - including the gap for the starting handle - seen in this and the previous snap when viewed together...
