This chassis 47194 was built in 1936 initially with a factory body. Its first owner Mr Jeannin raced it in 1936 and 1937. In 1938 it was sold to Mr Mazaud who raced it in 1938 and 1939. The car had an accident near the end of the '38 season and was rebuilt with a modernized body work specific to this car and was raced in 1939 in this configuration. After the German invasion of France in 1940 it was unfortunatly requisitioned by the Wermacht, repainted in German grey and used as a courrier car for a while. It has never been seen again.
