A hunting Métallurgique (UPD. 12CV,1910/1911, body by Vandenplas, CN236 (UK))



A few days ago we unadvertedly shocked several of our readers by showing a post bear hunt photo which is not in accordance with today's view on things. Today a more peaceful picture, but don't forget it is still about a hunt...

Sender Leslie has a question about the postcard with a scene situated in front of the 'Cafe. Au Rendez-Vous des Chasseurs. Bruyere" : This picture shows probably a prewar Métallurgique with a nice and rare body by...? Unfortunately the seller of this postcard masked the additional information. The scene has been shot in a small village called Beho situated in the Belgian Ardennes close to Vielsalm. Does anyone have more information regarding the exact type of this presumed Métallurgique and the marvelous coachwork?

Is it possible to known any history of the CN 236 Métallurgique? I already sent some questions to the local historical and cultural associations of Gouvy,from wich Beho is a borough. I'm really interested how the car ended up in the UK!

@ Herman, I was quiet certain on the origin of the body made by the Belgian branche of Van den Plas. Thanks for dating the M type.
Kind regards Leslie.

Hi. Fascinating blend of blue collar(working class) and white collar(business class) at the cafe, only the business class were usually seated, and seated in these expensive motorcars.
