Scatti dalla tappa intermedia: London–Brighton 2025
Alle prime luci del mattino il cielo si è aperto, e si temeva che il maltempo potesse rovinare la giornata. Ma presto le nuvole si sono diradate mentre le prime moto e auto arrivavano alla sosta del Hawth Theatre a Crawley.
Con la luce autunnale che ora filtrava tra gli alberi, le auto brillavano al sole.

I doubt that, though I cannot refute the suggestion. The car has several Lacoste & Battmann features like early Barré's sometimes had, but the still existing veteran Barré specimens have different lever and handle configurations. I still have hope that the owner will react, or somebody who has actually made a photo from a different angle.
Laurens, thank you, that’s the car indeed. It was obviously in the run, but the entry list apparently has had some last minute modifications which have not been implemented in that list. However I have serious doubts about its identity, because it would be the most atypical Georges Richard I’ve ever seen. In the advert on your site in 2021 it also indicates ‘anonyme’, so the identity clearly is not that certain. I have another possibility, but it’s too premature to share it at this stage as it needs some more research.
Normally I’m not the man asking for an id, but in this very nice photo series there is one car which puzzles me: it concerns the little red car taken in side view halfway the series and which I can’t find in the participants list (see photo below). Could someone please enlighten me?
