An airplane enthusiast gave me a photo out of a book he was reading about the German airforce in occupied France. It was a photo of this car and a Cord 810 in the background, that had been commandeerd by some German Airforce men. If I can only remember where it is...

I seem to remember reading somewhere that this is a T37 fitted with a T35 engine by the Schlumpfs. Damned if I can remember where I read it though ...... could be Wiki, I am just too lazy to look.

Thanks for the photo Uwe, I have only ever seen this car photographed from the rear three-quarters, this is the first profile shot. Anyone got a photo taken from the front?

I feel a post coming on about all sports bodied T35/37/51s. Including the recreations.

Regards
Johan

It wasn't normal, but you could order a GP as a rolling chassis.

It is NOT 37328. That car is in the US with a built-up 35T engine. The engine #159 of 37328 is in Europe and currently fitted as a spare in another T37.
The Schlumpf car is according to the ABC Register 4872 with engine 163T but with the chassis plate of 37328 fitted. Both cars have a Reinartz Liège Belgium connection.

Great info, Bugwrench. Seems in the past people did their best to make a nice puzzle from chassis number plates...

I guess we will need to shuffle around on the WIKI a bit, and also on the photo server.

Yes, but digital images are not.... My own computer has become a place where I can find surprises!

Over Christmas an edition of the popular TV police drama series "Midsomer Murders" centred on the activities of two characters (strongly reminiscent of old-school UK BOC members) who were importing stolen Grand Prix Bugattis from the continent and "recreating" them. There were several shots of a black "type 51" (maybe Steve Shoosmith's car ?).

That is where the photo server jumps in... It is not just the image, it is the extra info added to the image that is the value of the system.

@GCL Wales: I missed that. Do they repeat that program by any chance?

The problem with searching photographs that often I have a visual image of the photograph in my head, but no description at all. And even if I knew that some picture has a T35B on it, then still there are thousands of those....

I believe that some programme has been tried, where photographs are catalogued according to visual similarities, what I heard is that it still is very difficult.

I saw this program but I could not understand why they thought that a hubcap from a T46 or T 49 would fit somewhere onto a GP :lol:

For now, forget about categorizing according to similarities. I have tried a program to filter out double pictures in the photo database. Easy task, you think... No, it isn't...
