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.
