Diverse typography
05 Apr 2012
No. 112 arrived on the road on 20 April 1970 and was later part of the collection of 25 M35. Many M35 fenders have suffered damage to a front fender, where they were replaced or sprayed after it. The original lettering was often lost. With this copy, the number was again added, probably by an advertising painter, with a different typography.
The collector got a tip that would be near Bourges an M35. After a lot of searching, questions at garages, pumping stations and cafes, he was eventually found at a scrap yard in Fussy. Apparently they thought it too harsh to demolish such a car, so it was stored in a warehouse, where it was finally taken from between the gas bottles. From '89 he was in good company in a barn in Holland. Now he's ready to be handled by a new owner.
