Judging by the number of unidentified chassis, we can expect lots of newly restored cars in the future. But only if we can identify them properly! Therefore we ask you, Chassis Detectives, to help Stig Larsson with this one. He bought it in Sweden a year ago and believes it’s from a French cyclecar. It is small indeed, its wheelbase is 200 cm and the track 105 cm (6’7” and 3’5”). Stig first thought it was a Salmson from 1922-23 because the rear axle is Salmson. However, the rest is not. And even more confusing, the gearbox is an Eclipse, made in the USA. Probably there has been a motorcycle engine in front of the gearbox? Maybe the gearbox is not original? Maybe both engine and gearbox have been put in later? Stig is rather sure the chassis is factory built, because everything is so well done, he thinks it cann't have been done in a backyard shed. Over to you, Chassis Detectives! Mail us your suggestions!
