1953 HOTCHKISS GREGOIRE Chassis 709 French registration High technological quality Extremely functional Well-preserved old restoration 20 000 / 25 000€ After developing the Panhard Dyna X during the war, Jean Albert Grégoire launched the design of a sedan incorporating all his innovations: front-wheel drive, cast alloy structure, independent suspension, ... At the 1947 Paris Motor Show, he unveiled the Grégoire R, a successful and highly innovative sedan. Unable to launch production on his own, Grégoire had to join forces with a manufacturer to industrialize his project. Hotchkiss, with whom he had already worked on the Amilcar Compound, quickly signed a contract with Jean Albert Grégoire to manufacture a sedan derived from the R. Hotchkiss had an aging range, and the new Grégoire would modernize the brand. Launched in 1950, the Hotchkiss Grégoire, too far ahead of its time, was a commercial failure, and production ceased in 1954 after just 247 examples were produced. Too high a price tag, manufacturing problems and atypical styling are just some of the reasons for the failure of this incredible car. The example we're offering is one of the last to be produced. Equipped with the Solex 30 PAAI carburetor, it delivers 80 horsepower. It was fully restored in the 2000s (without invoice), before its current owner acquired it in 2003. With it, he participated in numerous events. In 2018, the engine will be rebuilt at the Gouyer Automobile garage. The road test we carried out demonstrated the Grégoire's impressive road capabilities compared with other sedans of the era. A veritable museum piece and a monument to automotive history, this Grégoire is now ready and waiting for you to take it to the finest Hotchkiss Club events.
