Chassis:
The first of two off-set Grand Prix cars built ahead of the 1939 season, it was driven to third at its Pau Grand Prix debut. Converted to sports car specification, it won the Grand Prix de Commenges in the hands of Rene le Begue. It was later driven at the Indy 500 and placed fourth in the Pikes Peak Hill Climb. After the War, Zora Arkus-Duntov raced in the 1946 and 1947 Indy 500s. It was subsequently campaigned by Harry Schell in several Grands Prix in Europe. In the early 1950s it was brought to South America by privateer racer 'Raph.' In 1984, it was retrieved from Brazil by Colin Crabbbe and since joined a Swiss collection. In recent years, chassis 90130 has been regularly campaigned by its owner in both Grand Prix and sports car specifications.
