I have been working until 7 a.m. to refit the gear mechanisms on the “Tracab” ( Traction Avant Cabriolet ) so that I could take
it out and make room for the engines ...And I took it out ... and I parked it (ah, parking the Traction in a slot !)

* “ Alain 11al” : a friend whose “ Traction Avant 11 CV “ car is registered “ 11al”

Two C3 engines. One of them, the green one, was probably mounted on a boat ...

We unload all this mess.

And André is in full philosophical reflection mode concerning his new toy ...

…and I would do well to remove the grease that stains the lens of my camera !!!
