Swiss made 4cv

[MartB]

Anyone who has got any information about this version of 4cv?

I found this picture in a 4cv book. Apparently it was designed in Switzerland by engineer Henri and sold under the name G.H. The top speed was 160 km/h. Thats about all the information I've found about it. Was it ever sold or was it just a "salon"-car?

I looks a bit like an Alpine A106. Quite cool.

Hmmmm, "GH" provided bodywork "tuning" parts for the 4CV.
I think this may well just be an A106 with GH chrome bits.
Could also be a Redele coupe before Alpine were formed, but it didn't' have a grille in track form.

EDIT: Knew I had seen a pic. See attached "G.H." flyer

Thanks Matra et Alpine. I didn´t know about GH before.
However, I think there are more differences than just crome bits if you compare to both the A106 and the earlier Marquis.

yea I favoured the Redele coupes BEFORE the A106.
It's the front windscren that doesn't fit with any of the images I have of those.
Sorry I can't be definitive.
As the pic is at a show, it's possible it was a one-off to promote the company ??

It's actually a car called G.F.H.-Sport, shown on Salon de Geneve 1954. Base was like already mentioned the Renault 4CV.
G.F.H. stands for Grandjean, Ferri and Hauri.
Hauri was the owner of a garage in Biel, Switzerland, Granjean was a racing driver and Ferri a tuning specialist.
Coachbuilder was Italian Carrozzeria Rocco Motto.
Performance: 62 BHP, capacity 904 cc, weight only 465 kg
Project was cancelled for financial problems, though it has been said that there were 25-30 orders.

Thank you very much Allemano. That was really interesting information.
