  • The Trojan Horse: Imported Automobiles
    CHAPTER 5 suggested citation: Medrano-Bigas, Pau. The Forgotten Years of Bibendum. Michelin’s American Period in Milltown: Design, Illustration and Advertising by Pioneer Tire Companies (1900-1930). Doctoral dissertation. University of Barcelona, 2015 [English translation, 2018]. THE TROJAN HORSE: IMPORTED AUTOMOBILES In the last two decades of the nineteenth century, the furor for bicycles as a personal and economical means of transport led to the invasion of the French market by English and American firms—leading to fierce commercial competition with the country’s own industries—resulting in the collapse of 1898. In the early stages of the new century the full development of the European automobile industry and in particular the French sector—with the inseparable development of the tire—produced a similar effect. However, this time it was the American market that was invaded by imported European vehicles, pre- dominantly from France. 1. Transatlantic travel on wheels Between 1890 and 1891 the first French vehicles marketed by Peugeot—one of the major bicycle manu- facturers—and Panhard et Levassor, appeared on the scene and incorporated the internal combustion engine developed by the German Gottlieb Daimler. French and German investments in technology, which would be imposed on the rest, was based on gasoline-powered engines and collided with the English and North American options, diversified between vapor, electric and gas-powered automobiles. Production data from the United States in 1899 show that there were 2,500 vehicles—about 80% of which used electric or steam engines—manufactured by around 30 companies. Between 1900 and 1901, France was by far the world’s largest automobile producer.

  • “The Peking to Paris Rally”
    1 “The Peking to Paris Rally” Sam Peters has been a member of the Vines community since 1989. He is a man who enjoys a challenge. Here are a few examples. Flew to Germany to experience the Berlin Wall coming down. Went to Russia and trained for a week to fly a Russian MIG . Signed on as crew to sail the Mediterranean. Climbed Kilimanjaro and made it to the summit. Drove a dirt bike for a month through the outback of Mexico. Skied just about every black run in the U.S., Canada and Argentina. Won his age group in the handball national championship. Thirteen matches in two days. So this year it was time for something really big. “The Peking to Paris Rally”. Ninety-six cars entered, mostly with professional competitors. Fly from Cincinnati to Beijing (6,830 air miles) then drive 7,610 miles through Asia/Europe in 33 days with friend and mechanic, Enos Reed, in a 1940 Studebaker called (Stu).We are told that we can track car 41 (Stu) on “Yellow Brick” a transponder installed to track the car on the internet. Preparations are underway, registering, collecting ID’s and Chinese driver’s licenses, uploading way points in Marine GPS and going to briefings. The field will compete in two basic divisions, the Vintageant category, (pre 1941 model cars) with 42 entrants including “Stu” and the Classic category (pre 1975 models) with 54 entrants. The race, set to start on May 28th is on schedule. No sooner underway then the first glitch is encountered. The Chinese government has confiscated all of the GPS equipment suggesting that it might be used for spying.

  • The Remarkable Molly Porsche 356
    www.porscheroadandrace.com The Remarkable Molly Porsche 356 Published: 19th February 2021 By: Porsche Road & Race Online version: https://www.porscheroadandrace.com/the-remarkable-molly-porsche-356-2/ Molly ready for the Peking to Paris rally in 2007 © David & Julie Harrison She was manufactured in 1958, and much of her early life is unrecorded. But in 2004, a customer of Gantspeed Engineering, Lincolnshire, England, asked the workshop’s owner, Robert Gant, to find him a right-hand drive Porsche 356A. This customer wanted to try his hand at a bit of classic rallying, and for his very first event, he had entered the 2007 Peking to Paris rally! Well, if you want to learn to swim, there is nothing like diving in at the deep end to start the ball rolling, so to speak. www.porscheroadandrace.com Molly poses for a snap in Russia during the Peking to Paris rally 2007 © David & Julie Harrison Robert Gant set to work to source a suitable car and as it happened, a South African right- hand drive 356A project car came up. This was an incomplete car with VW engine and transmission, and so a deal was done and this became the starting point for the project. The body was duly stripped and media blasted back to bare metal, revealing a very rusty bodyshell that told a sad tale of botched repairs over the years. All the rusted sections were cut away and new panels installed, at this stage most of the car was being held together by mole grips. It was at this point that the car received its nickname, Molly Mole Grip, later shortened to Molly, which has stuck with her to this day.

A RENAULT ‘FAMILY’ Jean Rédélé was the first-born son of Madeleine Prieur and Emile Rédélé, a Renault dealer based in Dieppe and a former mechanic of Ferenc Szisz – the first Renault Frères ‘factory driver’, winner of the Grand Prix de la Sarthe in 1906 at Le Mans and runner-up in the Grand Prix de l'A.C.F. in Dieppe in 1907. Louis Renault himself had hired Emile Rédélé right at the beginning of the 20th Century. At the end of the First World War, at the request of Louis Renault, the young Emile Rédélé settled in Dieppe and opened a Renault dealership there in rue Thiers. Two years later, Jean-Emile- Amédée Rédélé was born on May 17, 1922. After completing his studies in Normandy, Jean Rédélé took his Baccalauréat exam during the Second World War and came into contact with people as diverse as Antoine Blondin, Gérard Philipe and Edmond de Rothschild.
