The badge on the front of the 1st single seat picture looks like a Cisitalia one.

found it's a Simca Deho : It would seem that the "Spanish" photo shows Philippe at Madrid in a Deho. Whether this was later a Balsa Special I bow to others.
Gigleux Definitively Madrid: official programme had numbered the cars from n°2 to n°62. Philippe is too on the programme in last position with a Simca-Dého but with no number (certainly a late entry). If you look at the picture you can guess the car wear what seems to be n°64 ,which is logical.
John: the Balsas were built by Balsa from BMW parts, the Déhos by Dého from Simca parts; absolutely no links between them. If you look picture 3 and 4 you can see significant differencies: not the same number of louvres on the sides and the rear parts are different.

So as I understand the picture doesn´t show the Balsa, but the Simca Deho instead in 1949, correct? Sorry for my confusion...
Gigleux : Yes correct Marcus.

Found this picture on a Pirelli site, think this is your car. Unfortunately there is no more information on the site.

It a pleasure to read that some has not been forgotten, like Deho and Marcel Balsa for instance. Balsa had a mechanic qe respectfully called Monsieur Raymond capable of wonders, specially on our 911's.

Je vois que j'ai affaire ?* un très grand connaisseur. Pas "le" Raymond Touroul, un des plus rapide avec ce genre de machine dont les moteurs et boîtes étaient effectivement préparés chez Balsa, dans son très petit garage de Maisons Alfort. Le mécano de Balsa nous n'en connaissions pas le nom, mais sa maestria mécanique et son fort caractère appuyé par une pointe d'accent forçait notre respect. Je crois que tout le monde l'appelait Monsieur Raymond. Touroul au volant et Monsieur Raymond aux outils, il était très difficile de battre ce duo! J'en ai souvent fait l'expérience…
Sorry chaps, foreign affair but I know that at least EB and RB can understand this garbage!

Sure it is, it reminds the good ol'days when a driver could ask for a cigarette during the pitstop (works in Nascar: https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/co..._right_in_his/).



Bidochon, you've got a great collection of valuable dedicated pics. Congrats.

Je ne pense pas que ce soit un problème si vous continuez ici, bidochon. Si cela présente le moindre inconvénient, vous le saurez très vite, nos amis angalis sont cash!

Thanks to your post, EB emailed me a pic showing my facther too. I had a lot of archives but trusted a guy who was supposed to put everything on a digital support. This helped him to complete a book about Gordini and I just hope it will keep him warm in hell. Very hot I mean…
