French into English
1935 Standard nine 1935 comm. No.
228847 A9
I am in possession of this car
since June 2002. It belonged to a French general who lived in
India.
He returned to France with all
his personal belongings and therefore his car was brought back to
France in a container.
Unloaded in Le Havre the owner
did not take over his car. So it remained in a hangar of the Le
Havre Port Authorities for about twenty years. Mr. Jouanguy, a car
expert, has then taken it over and kept in his friends garage for
at least another fifteen years, for restoration by his friend.
Finally, through Raymond, the
mechanic of this garage, uncle of my son in law, I got knowledge
of the existence of this car. Surprisingly the car started in the
first attempt.
Therefore I decided to buy it
which made me the proud owner of a unique car in France, probably
the only one of this type in France.
The car is in good condition and
no welding necessary. It is now completely taken apart for being
resprayed, so that it will be in the end a beautiful car.
I would also like to become a
member of the English club.
Attached you will find a number
of pictures of the car.
