Anyone identify this car? Thanks.

Voisin C27

eta - C26 maybe? On second thoughts I think the 27 was a 2 door...

Sorry I've no idea but that EB110 is the one that has my interest, awesome!

Voisin C25 Aerodyne

[Gareth350]

Wow! I'm impressed! Many thanks!

[Pothole]

where is it? How did you get the pic?

Definitely a C25, well done pothole.

This one was a winner at Pebble Beach last year

Frightening Art Deco (cut Moquette?) upholstery in the PB winner, too...

Someone posted it on another forum asking what it was, so i knew the PH massive would know for sure!!

Have no other info on the pic i'm afraid, will try & find out.

Gabriel Voisin was an aero engineer and his designs reflected it.
Someone once said that his cars looked like they were designed by a man who knew all about cars but had never actually seen one...

it really does look like a Bugatti Royale mated with a 2CV.
and took a thalidomide chaser.

I was at the Windsor castle concourse this year, I remember seeing it there,

Lovely looking car.

Heres am image from google of it there.

the C25 aerodyne has a sliding roof panel, special in these days. Le Corbusier, The famous architect, drove Voisin cars.

The same car was at the Goodwood Revival - stunning.

it had the same upholstery as the Pebble beach car above which would be painful to look at for any length of time! Imagine the clash if the lady in the dress sat in the car...

Stunning in a Heath Robinson way...where they all RHD?

[mikey77]

Looks like it has the number plate from a Southdown or Brighton and Hove bus.

Pre war French cars were all RHD. They swapped sides overnight around 1945 (?) causing a degree of chaos which you still experience today around the peripherique.
Hotchkiss cars stayed RHD right up to the end, in 1955 when they were merged with Delahaye

Thanks, my knowledge of pre war cars is a little poor, although I still think I should stand in the corner for an hour
