Spot on. A 1919 Turcat-Mery, and a very special one that has a 9 litre x 6 cylinder Lorraine-Dietrich aircraft engine. Built for a French duke and declared a "national treasure". It was clandestinely shifted to Holland and exported to a US Collector who has to return it to France. Stated to have had almost no use for 86 years and is absolutely original.Quote:

Slotted VW-type wheels and positive camber at rear suggest it's based on an early Porsche (356?).

getting closer... nearly there! (a 356 was a civilian car...;))
Is it a 597?Quote:
