When I arrived at Saint Saturnin there was a yellow Venturi 400 GT or Trophy parked in the second to last parking lot. I stupidly decided to take a look at the cars on show on the upper level and come back later for the Venturi. By then it had already departed. So question is, has anyone taken any pictures of the Venturi? Thank you in advance, Vince

Venturi/MVS/Atlantique/300 definitely amongst "interesting" cars built in France. They were based in Cholet, not far from Le Mans, which has always resulted in one or two turning up at La Sarthe for race weekends.

Only ever built in small numbers (total about 650 cars) a tiny number were in RHD for the UK market. Those are even more rare than hens' teeth.

As with any mid-engine turbo installation heat management was challenging. More on this link, and click the English translation button on your browser,

At my first LM in 08 I saw a Spyker road car now that is a rare car from Wiki "Spyker only built 265 road cars during its periods of financial stability"
