• Delivered new in France • Matching chassis and engine • Significant in-period race history • Known ownership history • Restored in the late 1990s/early 2000s The Type 37 engine number '287' was assembled at the factory in June 1929 together with the very last Type 37 un-supercharged engines made, numbers '286' to '290'.
All those engines are marked 'vilebrequin trempé', indicating they had special treatment for the crankshaft.
If we assume the car was assembled just after its engine had been got running, we may suppose it was kept one year by the factory before being sold.
The sales records of the last Type 37s made, from chassis '37379' to chassis '37387', clearly show that most of the cars were sold one or two years after their engines were made, with many cars not sold until 1931.
It is possible that the engines were waiting for their chassis for some months.
The invoice for the car appears in the factory archives: '18/6 - 3738.
