Introducing Porthos...

• 

One of those really long, long forgotten French sportscar makes. Only the insiders who go to the bottom of everything have ever heard about it. This photo is from 2 July 1907 , the Grand Prix of the French Automobile Club (TeamDan.com) at Circuit de la Seine-Inférieure. We understand that driver Emile Stricker dropped out of the race after just 4 laps the car dropped out of the race due to steering problems. Take a look at the enlarged view (click) and judging from the low mounted steering arm one can understand what may have happened. (photo postcard from collection Bob Swanson)
