.......Leather straps, could it be a piece of very early Louis Vuitton carriage luggage?  Grin
I had to close my eBay account when I found I was selling 60 imitation Louis Vuitton handbags.

Are we still trying to find out what the  Blue lump of cr@p is, I thought I saw something black and sleek.

If it was british, it would be an AC or a Greeves.  Is it an early Mega or a Rova

As BMW were building bubblecars in those days (they'd moved up from Austin 7s, like Nissan and Willys), it could be a Panhard, Bonnet, Alpine or Matra - something with some Le Mans heritage, hence the straps

Ok manucfacture Rovin,

Quote
Cyclops robert de rovin had built motorcycles before the war with his brother raoul. His original rovin car had a single headlight and a rear-mounted 260cc single engine but never made it to production. The 1947 salon saw a more polished design, with two headlights, roll-up windows and a 425cc flat twin engine. About 380 were built before it was succeeded by the wider-bodied rovin d3 at the end of 1948. falling sales at 370,000 francs, the first rovins were more expensive than the citroen 2cv, but sold well anyway because there was a four-year waiting list for the little citroen. Later rovin models undercut the citroen in price but sold no better. In 1952, the engine was enlarged to 462 cc, but sales continued to fall. Petering out at the end of the fifties, the rovin had come in like a lion but went out like a lamb.
The rovin was as basic as could be, but ironically was built in the old delaunay-belleville luxury car factory.

But not sure on which model - think it might be a D4 Mwb

yippie - i got one right  Smiley

Ok - I choose black, and i think I'll get this one right for some reason.  Wink

And on to the next one

What can you tell me about this one.

looking at the size of it, i think that Rovin would sit in the boot of this one.
