Sold without contrôle technique The story of this intriguing Roadster begins at the dawn of the 1950s, in an alleyway in Bordeaux housing the garage of the

local dealer, a certain Jacques Calès... At the time, this motor racing enthusiast was preparing his own barchetta, using Simca

8 parts, to take part in the few Grand Prix events in the area.

This was the case at the 1953 Grand Prix de Bressuire, where he entered a Simca Sport Spéciale 1,090 cc in the sports category.

In 1964, Firmin Dura, the coachbuilder at the Peugeot dealership in Dax, produced the model that illustrates these pages, in the form of a tubular chassis powered (from then on) by a prepared 203 engine, and fitted with a front axle, rear axle and original Simca suspension. At the time, the Calès had just finished its racing career and needed a new body. Firmin Dura completed the work that had already been started by Henri Rignault.

Our elegant Roadster emerged from this workshop in red with a black stripe. Its lines are directly inspired by Italian masterpieces, and bear a strong resemblance to the work of Frua, giving rise to a legend that it was the Italian master who designed this car for Henri Rignault... It was sold in the Alpes-Maritimes, before ending up with a collector in Lyon, and then with its current owner, a major Peugeot collector.

Today, the car has a sumptuous patina. Its mechanics still bear the marks of the typical preparations of the 1950s: cylinder head with large valves and Constantin intake pipe, double-barrel Solex carburettor, Darl’Mat exhaust, block re-bored to 1,460 cc...

Once under way, the sound of the 4-cylinder is bewitching. Engage 1st gear (below right, the gearbox is still the original 203,

here with the floor-mounted lever with reverse control) and the car takes off and revs up with vigour. It’s a real sports car, fun to drive with an ultra-light and playful rear end.

In the end, this Roadster is halfway between the three most beautiful worlds: the bravura work of a talented coachbuilder, the racing car born of the genius of a 1950s wizard, and the ideal Roadster for enjoying the summer as it should be. It’s sure to please its next owner, whether they’re an experienced collector or an enlightened enthusiast in search of the perfect ride!
