With the current reviving interest for 'Edwardian' and 'Brass' cars it won't hurt to brush up our knowledge about a few of the lesser known marques. A good friend sent us this remarkable picture and you may recognise the car on the left and the right - both contemporary high quality cars - at first sight. But sorry, this week we like to gauge your knowledge of the lesse known around motorcar shown in the middle. Just to make things to not too simple our friend decided to blank out the obvious makers badge and the registration plate. The two letter combination that was showing on the badge refers in sound to a considerable lump of iron in France after which yet also to the motto of a british town known for its' cathedral. So it is a british car with a french background and a technical concept from one more 'stop' down the continental road. The design was conventional but refined with ballbearing(!) crankshaft bearings. Contrary to most contemporary machinery it was possible to take the engien-gearbox combiantion form under the car while leaving radiator, dashboard and the full body in place. An excellent, modern car of which you should know.
So check your library and other resources and give us any relevant information on this particular car. Starting with Make and Type. Plus whatever you can come up with, that is to say within 100 words. Please post your answer in the comment box below (please do not email) and be sure to read The Rules under Read More. This may be your chance to win the infamous PreWarCar T-shirt and wear with pride! Results will be published next Saturday, August 22.
