Post subject: | Is this car 50112? |
![]() ![]() In the Hucke/Kruta work this car is described as being 50112. But, and it is kind of a big but, some of the photos in this book are wrongly captioned. And GCL-Wales suggests this could be 50124, for which there is no Wiki entry. Please note that GCL-Wales did not state as fact this car to be 50124, he simply suggested it may be. ![]() About the only thing I am sure of is that this photo cannot be 50112, this is a long wheelbase works landaulet body on the T46. (They built around 3 or 4 on both T46 and T50T - none survive) The second photo is reproduced a lot clearer in the Hucke/Kruta work, and it does look as if the rear part of the roof can be a landaulette top, which would make the Wiki inscription correct, just the photo being of the wrong works landaulette. So to recap : Hucke can be either right or wrong, so can GCL Wales. And I don't know either. But trust me on the third photograph, I'm sure that is a T46. I'm not helping much am I? Kind Regards Johan Buchner |

Except if they they rebuilt it on a long chassis before selling it on "as new." In which case the third photo may indeed be right. Oh dear. Why do I have to love this infuriating marque so? |

Could 50112 have started off as photos 1 & 2, then became a Le Mans team car, crashed and was then rebuilt as a T50T (last photo)? I see this car survive ; have you got a recent photo? Thanks Christian Johan |
