Equipment
Barn find condition but running. Dull paint, torn interior, rusty brightwork and metal, broken windshield. Sides painted Sapeurs et Pompiers Odenas Rhone so it must have been part of a fire brigade at some point. Disc wheels, RHD, 3.2 liter side valve 4 cylinder, 4 speed, no top or frame. Needs everything but a very reasonable place to begin. Looks like it may have come from the Rosso et Bianco collection.
Market commentary
An old car that only a collector in France could love, at least to the extent of this price, which will set the curve in Cottin & Desgouttes prices for years to come. The cataloger presumably not having a clue about its value gave himself plenty of windage in the estimate range, setting the high estimate at three times the low.
