This car, serial number 11514 is probably the nicest surviving Berline of the model still in original condition, never restored. The body is a masterpiece of French coachbuilding craftsmanship. Made by Carrossier Maurice Proux in Courbevoie with absolutely balanced lines and elegant design. The car was known to be a part of Museum collection of Mr. Mette, "Musée de L'Auto" - St Christoly de Blaye for many years. The engine has been recently checked by French Hispano-Suiza specialist Eric Limpaler and the chassis was found in great technical condition. Still equipped with its original C.T. Weymann exhauster the car runs and drives as it should.
