Equipment
850cc Panhard twin, single Zenith carb, Panhard gearbox, Panhard disc wheels, aeroscreen.
Condition
A homebuilt created by Pierre Guerin in Grenoble, France, the Atelier Guerin Special, possibly raced when new. Now aged and neglected with dull chipped paint, usable upholstery and a later Panhard engine in need of total restoration.
Market commentary
When returned to running, driving condition that big twin Panhard will be deafening and the driving experience, particularly on a hillclimb, should be breathtaking. It seemed to have been generously estimated, but then brought a successful hammer bid of even more, proving, if nothing else, that it pays to offer an obscure French-built racing car in France.
