Identification of a C6

[MSottovia]

Hello again!

So this is my first post, hope that you can help me out with it!

This car has been found by a friend of mine in a barn. It seems it hasn't seen the daylight in about 35 years, prior to which it wasn't even used...

I really want to buy this car, but I'm also very afraid of it. Somebody committed a crime on it, took the rear part of it to the trash and put a pick up on it, so that it is now a truck...and let's say, it isn't a very nice conversion at all! obviously my idea is to take it back to original.

The missing parts of the front are present (or that's what the owner said), but they aren't on the pictures so I'm really lost on this. I see that it has Rosalie style rims and from my point of view, looks like a C6G Roadster? just saying cause of the remainings of the roof being in there look short, so it should be a 2 door car, and it has the bendable supports for the windshield.
Bought the "Les c4-c6 de Mon Pére" book on ebay and it finally arrived! but I'm not being able to spot it there.

I'll attach the pictures now. Thanks in advance!
Best regards!

C6F ex torpedo .... avec chauffage svp !!

Donc plutôt Torpédo et non Roadster comme le pense notre ami ?

So more Torpedo style and not Roadster as Max said ?

Je pense aussi à un Torpedo C6F, car un roadster aurait un pare-brise rabattable.

! BUENOS DIAS !

Este coche estaba, antes un TORPEDO FAMILIAL con BASTIDOR gran modelo
? Porqué ? :
-Pequenas puertas
-Cristal delante vertical
-Gran distancia en la partida dentro la puerta delante y la puerta de detras

-No habia nunca TORPEDO COMMERCIAL en modelo C6
-Este modelo estaba nunca un ROADSTER : El ROADSTER tiene puertas LARGA de 70 cm de ANCHA . En la fota ,la puerta es de 56, 5 cm de ancha

SALUDOS

Je traduis.

Cette voiture était précedemment un TORPEDO FAMILIAL sur CHASSIS LONG
Pourquoi ?
-Portes étroites
-Pare brise vertical avec montants verticaux non rabatable
-Panneau entre-porte large de 50 cm

Il n'y a jamais eu de torpedo C6 en COMMERCIAL
Ce modèle n'a jamais été un ROADSTER : Le ROADSTER a des portes larges de 70 cm

Una ultima pregunta
Por favor el numero del bastidor !No podemos ver lo, con la foto

! GRACIAS !



Une dernière question
S'il vous plait ,quel est le n° de série . Il n'est pas possible de le lire sur la plaque d'identification

Deux interrogations pour les PURISTES :
-La fixation par boulons du support de nourrice avant (réservoir de 15 l ) sur l'auvent ,montage caractéristique sur AC4 et C6 / C6E. En effet cette fixation sur C6F est par RIVETS
-La fixation bizarre de la colonne de direction

Ce n'est pas un flexible hydraulique que l'on voit, ainsi qu'un cylindre recepteur de roue avec sa purge?

Super

Mieux que le 24V ça non ?

Thanks for your replies!

Well, I initially thought if was a Torpedo, but as the "roof" looks so short, opted for the 2 door alternative.

I just can't get more pictures, as the car isn't mine (yet), and sadly the picture of the ID number is really crappy. From what I see, it says "062160" doesn't it?

So it should be a C6F Torpedo...what are the characteristics of this model? I mean, number of seats, year of make, interior, whatever... if somebody has some more pics of an original car, I would really appreciate them! I've been only able to watch pics of the front or sides, nothing else...

I reckon there's a guy in Argentina that has one of these, I'll try to ask him for some pics of his car! maybe he's here already anyway...

Again, thank you all for the answers!
Best regards!

GOOD MORNING

It's truly a very interesting model, but nevertheless a large project !The best is to rebuilt it in original condition.

The steel frame of the roof seems very short because it's cut and modified same the rear of body (it was a crime ! )

The serial numero 062160 means that the construction year is 1930,i.e. first version of C6F, in familial torpedo body, with 7 seats , coated fabric for the seats

Best regards

C'est vraiment un modèle intéressant ,mais néanmoins un gros chantier ! Le mieux est de refaire cette voiture comme à l'origine
L'armature en acier de capote semble courte car elle a été manifestement coupée et modifiée tout comme l'arrière de la carrosserie (c'était un crime ! )
Le n° de série 06160 signifie que l'année de construction est 1930, c'est à dire la première série des C6F, en carrosserie torpédo familial 7 places , les sièges étant garni de tissu enduit

Je pense aussi à une torpédo C6 F familliale .
Entre porte de 47 cm et non de 50 cm.
Curieux effectivement ce réchauffeur sur l'échappement.
Un carburateur postérieur au modèle de la voiture.
Et surtout ce passage des freins à l'hydraulique.
La position de certains boutons du tableau de bord pourrait laisser penser à un E mais les photos ne permettent pas de conclure.
A noter le support de pare-choc type F .
Cette voiture ne peut pas être un roadster à l'origine car la forme de la caisse après la porte ne correspond pas du tout.
La longueur de la porte n'est, à mon sens, pas significatif pour appuyer ma conclusion ci dessus.
Cette voiture est probablement de mi 1931.
Le tableau de bord ayant été largement adapté au fil des années.

I think also has a torpedo C6 F familly.
Door between 47 cm and not 50 Cm.
Curious fact that the heater on ESC.
A carburetor back to the model of the car.
And especially this passage from the hydraulic brakes.
The position of certain button panel might suggest to an email but the pictures do not provide evidence.
Note the bumper bracket F.
This car can not be a roadster was originally because the shape of the body after the door is not at all.
The length of the door is not significant in my opinion to support my conclusion above.
This car is probably mid 1931.
The dashboard has been widely adapted over the years.
