A lot of work was done on this 4L: it was cut, damaged and painted to look like an old wreck.

Transformation of an original French Mochet from the 1920s: after the body work on this piece, the biggest job was to transform the chassis of the car so that it could turn in a 2.5-meter radius circle, instead of the usual 10-meter radius that the original chassis was designed for. Because of venue restrictions, we also had to change the motor’s driving system. The modifications were done in collaboration with the company Spectat.
