          Yeah - could be. The front hood appears to not be 550...and I keep checking out Bridget more than the car!

          Cheers,

            Brigitte Bardot got married with Roger Vadim at 18 in 1952
            At that time he was an unknown assistant art director and to earn money Brigitte did a lot of photo shooting for women magazine as "Elle" and "Marie Claire" and also for French car constructors as Renault and Simca
            Fo those interested I have collected some interesting pics I am going to post in my "News from France" Topic

                    • Hi Vance,

                      I have seen the photo before, but yet to determine the chassis number. It is obviously an early build in the US and blue or red in colour. The only two I can put it down to is 550-0019 or 550-0021, but there is no documented accidents during races for those cars. It is hard without some kind of race number or car feature to be sure...

                        Le mans?

                        Comment


                        • It would be a great find! #39 - 550-12 at the 1954 LeMans.

                          Interesting at this year's LeMans Classic had this 550 racing, but it is not an original...

                          • Very interesting, do you know anything about that car competing this year? Fiberglass or Alloy body? Equipped with 4-cam engine?

                                I would be very surprised to hear that a company with so tight links with Porsche enter a replica as a 1955 spyder into a race as Le Mans Classic
