| W. Boddy, Continental Sports Cars, G.T. Foulis, 1951 |
Georges Irat was a French automaker who introduced his first model in 1921. The company seems to have been a very low production manufacturer first making luxury cars, but also smaller sporty cars as they worked to survive the depression, This particular 3 seat model was introduced in 1938, being based around the front wheel drive Citroen powertrain. The car also featured four wheel independent suspension utilizing rubber bands for suspension. It was designed as a lower-cost sports car to compete with MGs and similar. Unfortunately production was ended by the outbreak of the war and only about two hundred were built. Nice looking little car.
