The Villard Revisited

• 

Apart from the updates on last week’s article about the Villard, we received an extensive and very informing reply from Hans Compter in New-Zealand. It’s quite a story but as today is December 21 (the longest night in our part of the world!) we thought you wouldn’t mind a little reading. Hans wrote: “It was a bit of a shock to see the very familiar and unmistakably rusty nose of "my" Villard staring at me. The shock was caused by the fact that I was sure that after forty years of ownership I had just finished restoring “our” car! Not so much a dream but more like a nightmare to find that I was probably going nuts. But then a bit of a relief further down the article that apparently Belgian Geert De Brabandere owns this Type 29A. Geert's treasure looks pretty original complete with coffee-grinder crank handle on the R/H side, but wait, the other L/H side disproportional Ducellier headlight seems to be missing…”
