The French firm of Panhard-Levassor was not only there at the dawn of motoring, but was also in at the very beginning of motor racing.
By 1900 its cars had won more races than all the other contesting makes put together and the firm's order books were so full that there was a 12 month-plus delay before delivery of a new motor car could be met.
Despite this, Panhard-Levassor continued to go motor racing into the early years of the twentieth century.
