1927 French car

Spotted this at a swap recently.  1927 Darracq. Apparently these were made by some other French  brand but they were  sold in the UK as a Darracq. 

OHV 6 engine, the seller was saying its similar in power to Holden grey motor. its a older 1970s ? restoration,  stored in a shed for years. Water pump, dynamo and magneto all connected together. 

 

 

 

Here is the full movie "Genevieve" which everybody saw back in the day. The story of a the London to Brighton run in a Darracque. the car from the movie spent decades in the car museum on the Gold Coast until sold to UK.

Quite a few 1920s Citroens about ,and an  odd one I used to see at rallies in the 1980s was a Turcat Mery        coupe 

I'd like to have one of these, 



just so I could tell folk I drive an Alldays & Onion, every day.
