Finding very special cars for sale has always been our aim, and this little racing car fully satisfies that requirement, not least because it looks like a barn find. The builder of this car was Paul Meniessier, a Citroën agent and a pilot in the South of France. Ménissier designed and built this PMS-Panhard (PMS… Read More Very special: 1959 PMS Panhard
Whenever we come across a Panhard we always have some problem with the name: CD, DB, Dyna even concatenated in different order, but we are never sure of the model. The reason also lies in the fact that there are not many conscienti of this brand (and we are certainly not among them). The seller… Read More Blue drop: 1963 Panhard CD GT
We have seen many “strange” cars in recent years, but a Barchetta built on the mechanics of a Citroen 2CV was definitely missing from our list. Especially if it is a Barchetta built with a beautiful aluminum bodywork, most likely built in the USA and part of the SCCA category, driven at the end of… Read More Riverside veteran: 1957 Citroen Seidlitz Special
There is always a small aura of mystery about the cars produced by Deutsch Bonnet, it is in fact due to both small production and the fact that in those years, French cars lived in the shadow of the most famous and widespread Italian cars. And yet, wherever the DBs competed, they have always achieved good… Read More Chopped and sectioned: 1961 DB HBR 5 Super Rallye
Being a man of few words is often a good thing, however it is no longer a good thing when it comes to describe a car that deserves it. The car to describe, in this case, is a Panhard Dyna Junior, a car that has always fascinated us (and of which we have published… Read More To see: 1953 Panhard Dyna X87 Junior
If there’s one thing that drives us crazy, it’s the small sports berlinettas built in small series during the 40s and 50s. As we all know 80% of these cars were produced on a Fiat basis, but some were not, as in the case of this Panhard X86, imported (as a chassis) in Italy by… Read More Scrapyard survivor: 1953 Panhard X86 Berlinetta by Allemano
The Panhard CD is a car designed by Charles Deutsch and built by Panhard from 1963 to 1965. It was the road going version of the car that raced he 1962 edition of Le Mans. Only 179 of these cars were built and indeed that’s a very rare car: its sleek profile was designed in… Read More White lightning: 1960 Panhard CD
French car builders often used fiberglass to build their sports cars: it’s not a “noble” material such as aluminium, used mostly by italian coachbilders, but it’s light, cheap and easy to use. The DB (which is for Deutsch-Bonnet) HBR5 was a car built from 1955 to 1961 with a fiberglass body and a Panhard derived… Read More French fiberglass: 1960 DB HBR 5
Ok, we’ve just said it but every time we stare at this car we see a lot of the Speedster DNA, and somehow there’s a reason for it. Actually this is a proper roadster built using a fiberglass body; it has no windows and it is pushed by a flat twin, aircooled engine: to be… Read More Optional trunk: 1953 Panhard Dyna X87 Junior Roadster
Watching how simple and straight is this car, of course the mind recalls something like the Porsche 356 Speedster. Indeed this car too has an air cooled engine. This car is equipped with a 850 c.c. flat-twin, air cooled engine producing 40 h.p: not a powerhouse for sure, but with this car power is not the… Read More French speedster: Panhard Dyna Junior X87
