When you own a d'Yrsan cyclecar there's little risk that a similar car will pop up athe same race or show. D'Yrsan was primarily known for threewheelers. This Ruby engined and Cozette blown example is probably among less than a handfull surviving fourwheeled specimen. The car has been off the road for many years but after a carefull recommisioning it is ready for being tested for the 2013 season.
I have a copy of part 3 of Potherat's history (I guess it is from the Album du Fanatique de l'Automobile of the early 1970s but so far I have not been able to trace it back) and at the end of this part there is some statistics:
- in total 587 three- and fourwheelers have been produced
- only 50 of these were fourwheelers
- besides 7 "châssis de course" have been built.
So this survivor is very rare indeed and I know of only two other surviving fourwheelers.
