A World War I pilot. Robert Sénéchal began making light sporting
cars in 1921. often racing them himself and compiling 51 wins in 56
races during 1922-23. He went on to become a full-time driver with
a subsidiary of Chenard et Walcker contracted to build Sénéchals.
The last ones were probably made in 1929. Primitive but effective. br/>Sénéchal used the simplest engines he could get and mounted them on
the most primitive chassis possible with excellent results. The
first Sénéchal. the B 4. had a ruby 900 cc. four-cylinder engine.
This was soon renamed the Sport and accompanied by a bigger 975 cc
Grand Sport. Given the styling. performance and background of
Robert Sénéchal. these cars were obviously designed to be sporting
in nature.
Trevor Pask acquired this example in 1975 in a
half-restored condition and continued the process from his
extensive garaging in Stoke Poges. It is reported to have been
extremely reliable since and completed many rallies and events both
in this country and in France over the last 30 years. Indeed on a
visit to France in 1978. the vendor called upon Robert Sénéchal. br/>who was then in his eighties and who then proceeded to regale them
with tales of his brilliant and successful life as a racing driver. br/>a highlight of which was winning The Bol d'Or race in 1923. 1924
and 192 in a car of his own manufacture and bearing his own name.
Quite an achievement!
The car itself presents in truly excellent condition throughout
with typical flared cycle wings and an external side exhaust and
claxon. This boat tail speedster was originally sold by Léon Molon
of Le Grand Garage de la Borse in La Havre. The dash is of wood
design with an aluminium plate to hold the Jaeger speedometer and
36 hr clock. The correct wood rimmed. four-spoke aluminium steering
wheel is fitted and the black leather interior is in very good
order throughout. A period calorimeter can be found atop the
radiator. There is a history file available which contains a number
of previous Mo T test certificates and information pertaining to
this extremely well presented example.
