Mystery car-470
Spotted by Simon Brand somewhere between Sainte Maure de Touraine and La Chapelle Blache de Saint Martin, as you probably know this is about halfway between Le Mans and Limoges in the middle of France.
A refined cyclecar with 'pointe bordino' and a white topped driver that perhaps was born around the year the car was built. The car is very much 'dans son jus' and possibly being tested for the upcoming Lantilly, the French festival of slowth, 25 & 26 June. Despite the fact that the car was not superswift Simon was not in the position to overtake and now desperately tries to identify the machine he encountered and instantly fell in love with. Mystery car_detail-800In the second photo you can see a glimpse of the sieges decalées (staggered seats) and the edge of an alloy dashboard. We can sum up various candidates ranging from Le Zèbre to Amilcar and back, but we rather stay on the safe side and leave the guessing to you. Maybe you can tell us as well about the charming registration plate.
