With such alluring finishings, imagining that in 1963 this car was used as an emergency vehicle in the event of an accident seems utterly incongruous, especially given its navy blue/white leather livery. As the 100th anniversary of Le Mans approaches, this gem, which has spent its life in the hands of a French collector, will be auctioned on June 9. Note the special ‘safety car’ equipment by the great French coachbuilder, Henri Chapron: flags and additional lights. A unique opportunity to own a piece of contemporary automobile racing history.
