The Type 43 was among the very first road cars to have a top speed that exceeded 100 mph. Top speed was in the neighborhood of 112 mph.
This 2/4 Seater Type 43 has been given a comprehensive restoration. It has a documented history which begins in September of 1928, when the car's engine '133' was built at the Molsheim works and fitted to chassis 43286. It was one of eight cars to be built that month. 18 months later, the car was old to its first owner, B. Larrouse of Paris on May 12th of 1930. By 1932, it was in the care of M. Eonnet. In 1936, the car moved to the first of a series of owners on the French Riviera. Ernest Bahier of Nice kept the car from 1936 to 1945, followed by Eugene Gillio of Cannes, then moved to Avignon to a dealer Guy Dore in July of 1948. It then went back to the coast to Marseille in September of 1948.
American Peter Hall purchased the car in 1948 and two years later, had the car shipped to the United States in 1950. By this point in history, it wore its current coachwork - it had left the factory with Grand Sport coachwork.
Ralph Eades of anta Ana, CA purchased the car in 1953, then Tom Harrison in 1973, before passing into long term owners of Richard Adams of La Mesa and subsequently family members Lee Adams and Betsy Adams.
In the 2000s, the car was given a restoration. Upon completion, the car made its debut at the Pebble Beach Concours in 2006 where it received 3rd in class. Since that time is has changed hands on two occasions.
In 2011, this vehicle was offered for sale at the Quail Lodge auction presented by Bonhams. It was estimated to sell for $1,300,000 - $1,500,000 but bidding failed to satisfy the reserve. It would leave the auction unsold.
