GAR Type B5 1929, Unique car For Sale by Auction

Up for auction on June 28 th in Cambrai France
Public exhibition on June 27th from 10 to 12 am and 2 to 6pm and June 28th from 10 to 12 am
From the former collection of Alexis DREYE

History of the car:
- 1963: Alexis DREYE acquires the GAR from M. JAILLON (Breuillet)
- 1969: GAR appears in a festival in Armentières
- 1970: appearance in a movie in Lille
- 1970: appearance in a rally in Somme
- 1981: « I was very pleased by my GAR, it is a very enjoyable car, it is very smooth and its body stands out ». After several rallies, the engine needs to be restored
- 1984: Restoration of the engine by M. AMERAND (Charleville)
M. DREYE and M. POZZOLI had some exchanges about the carmaker Gardahaut. They concluded that this GAR was unique. Another similar GAR would be owned by Dr ROUHADI in Volvic in 1975, but that other car was fitted with a four cylinders engine.
This GAR is absolutely exceptional. First thanks to its 8 cylinders engine, fitted with double ignition system and coupled with a Cotal gearbox ; and thanks to its superb sporty and elegant body. This is a testimony of the French know how before WW2.

- A mechanical conception worthy of the highest standards
- A very elegant and sporty body
- A unique car that deserves to be in the best collections

Mise en circulation en 1932
Fondée en 1922 à Clichy par M. Gardahaut, mécanicien et technicien, cette firme se consacre à la construction de petites voitures sportives. Si Gardahaut réalise lui-même ses moteurs, 4 ou 8 cylindres, il utilise également des moteurs CHAPUIS-DORNIER ou RUBY. Débutant avec des cycle car, à partir de 1925 il réalise des voiturettes sportives. Les meilleures réalisations sont de 1929 avec des belles carrosseries aux lignes fuselées. Sa réussite est remarquable.
Grâce à son moteur 8 cylindres de 1375 cm3 à arbre à cames en tête et en option une version à double allumage, la vitesse était de 130 km/ h en pointe pour le cabriolet Grand Sport qui était vendu 26 000 Francs.
Historique de la voiture présentée :
- Achat par A. DREYE en 1963 à M. JAILLON (41. Breuillet)
- 1969 : Festival à Armentières
- 1970 : Participe à un film à Lille
- 1970 : Sortie dans la Somme
- 1981 : « J’avais eu beaucoup de satisfaction avec ma GAR, agréable et souple à piloter et très remarquée par sa carrosserie »
Plusieurs rallyes, le moteur est fatigué
- 1984 : Réfection du moteur par M. AMERAND (Charleville)
M. DREYE correspond avec M. POZZOLI sur la marque et signale que cette GAR est unique, une seule autre resterait entre les mains du Docteur ROUHADI à Volvic en 1975, mais un modèle 4 cylindres.
La voiture présentée est exceptionnelle de par sa conception mécanique de 8 cylindres à double allumage, à boite COTAL et sa merveilleuse carrosserie, de cabriolet 2+2. Une superbe voiture de sport, symbole des réalisations magnifiques des créateurs français d’avant-guerre.

- Une conception mécanique digne des plus hauts standards
- Une carrosserie à la fois sportive et élégante
- Un modèle unique méritant sa place au sein des plus belles collections
