A French Special Mystery

• 

Paul Kuster found this rather special Special a few months ago in France and since than has been researching the identity and history of the car with the help of Yves Rebet. So far he has found a lot already. The car was constructed in 1948 by Guy Henault who was 19 years old back then. Correct, Guy is now 85... The car was made making use of solely pre-war parts. Paul Kuster identified a Mathis frontaxle, but is not yet sure about the chassis. He learned the car had a Mathis or Citroen engine, which was lost at some point after which the car made use of a post-war Simca unit. The car had at least 6 owners over the years but most probably several more. The question is if the car is known by one or more of our french readers? Paul would like to know which exact chassis was involved. And also if contemporary photos are known showing the car parked, on the road, or possibly on a circuit.
