They practically invented the front engine\/RWD layout in the 1890s which was pioneered by Emile Levassor. By 1904, the company had won the Circuit des Ardennes and Vanderbilt Cup races. Their cars were among best in the world and the model \u201850HP\u2019 represented the top of the range.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The highlight of the 50HP was a massive 10.6-liter engine that had four independent cast iron cylinders displacing 145x160mm or 2.6 liters each! These were surrounded by copper water jackets and joined together through a common aluminum crankcase. This engine sent power to a 4-speed type KI transmission and a cone clutch similar to Panhard\u2019s racing cars. From there the power went to rear wheels through twin chains. This driveline was supported by a chassis made of wood, but reinforced with steel plates.<\/p>\n<p>Following a succession of two and three-cylinder cars that went from 18, 25 to 35HP, the substantial 50HP Type Q debuted in December at the 1904 Paris Salon. It mimicked the even larger 13.5-liter and 15.5-liter race cars, but with a thoroughly modern and stylish body.<\/p>\n<p>At the show, it was compared as a rival to the Mercedes 60HP and 70HP. Journalist Filson Young described the car: \u201cIf you are a millionaire\u2026 you simply get the best and most expensive car on the market\u2026 The Mercedes and the Panhard cars still remain the ideal cars of the man to whom money is no object. They represent in that sense of the word the best that has yet been both achieved and proved in the building of motor-cars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By February of 1905, the Model had been registered with the French Service des Mines and it was shown in Britain at the Olympia Show for \u00a31750\u2014\u00a3250 less than the competing 70-hp Mercedes.<\/p>\n<p>Many distinguished customers purchased this model type, including racing driver Chevalier Ren\u00e9 de Knyff and King Alfonso XIII of Spain who was photographed in 1907 speeding through the streets of Madrid to witness the birth of his son and heir, the Prince of the Asturias.<\/p>\n<p>Panhard\u2019s own records show that 79 examples of the 50-hp were built, but only few remain in existence today.<\/p>\n<h4>Bonham\u2019s Sale of Chassis 12020 at Retromobile<\/h4>\n<p>At their Automobiles d&#8217;Exception on Feb 9th, 2008 Bonhams failed to sell Chassis no. 12020 with a pre-auction estimate of \u20ac500,000 &#8211; 600,000. Reported as one of the two surviving 50HP models by the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain, this was a very exclusive opportunity. Below is a excerpt from Bonhams about the chassis:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ledgers also confirm that this car, chassis number 12020, is a four cylinder 50hp Model Q fitted with four-speed type KI transmission that was supplied new to British \u201cconcessionaire exclusif\u201d Harvey du Cros of 14 Regent Street, London, on 22 May 1905. Just who its first owner might have been is unknown, though when found as a virtually-complete chassis in 1966 \u2013 apparently \u201crotting in a shed\u2026 [with] a skull and crossbones on the radiator\u201d \u2013by one D. Foster of Chertsey, Surrey, it was wearing the London registration plate \u201cA-4505\u201d, which contemporary photographs show to have also been worn by an earlier Panhard belonging to a Mr E.A.C. Lister, so it may be conjectured that he was the first owner and had transferred that registration to the newer car.<\/p>\n<p>With restoration under way, the Panhard was submitted for dating to the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain. It was noted that its matching chassis and engine numbers were in accord with the 1905 series, but that a Claudel Hobson carburettor and non-standard manifolding were fitted. A dating of 1905 manufacture was confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Foster restored the car and is known to have taken part in the Veteran Car Club\u2019s Crystal Palace Rally in July 1967. The Panhard was subsequently offered for sale at a Sotheby\u2019s auction at Earl\u2019s Court on 15 May 1969, when it was bought for \u00a33800 by noted veteran car sleuth Colin Crabbe. Crabbe fitted a limousine body that he had retrieved from a Scottish estate<\/p>\n<p>In the early 1990s the decision was taken to carry out a total restoration of the car, during which it was also decided to endow it with a faithful copy of a period Henri Labourdette double phaeton body, since it is known that a number of Type Q Panhards were bodied by that most stylish of coachbuilders for distinguished customers.<\/p>\n<p>Contemporary photographs and extensive research provided the necessary information to make this recreation of the finest 1905 coachwork as authentic as possible, while period hardware and accessories were carefully sourced to ensure accuracy down to the minutest detail. This exacting work was carried out by the renowned company Laidlaw Restoration of Murphys, California, USA and included the location and fitting of the correct Krebs carburettor and minor controls. A Victoria hood and windscreen for the rear seats and a majestic full set of nickel Ducellier acetylene lamps provided the finishing touch.<\/p>\n<p>Without doubt the high point of these remarkable successes was the award of the French Cup, presented to the most significant French car at the annual Pebble Beach Concours d\u2019Elegance. Just over 10 years ago this magnificent automobile was acquired by that most discerning of collectors the late Otis Chandler for his growing collection of pre-Great War cars; it remained with him until his death in 2006, when it passed to the present owner. Since then, the car returned to Pebble Beach in 2007 where it was honoured in the special \u201c10-plus Club\u201d class for cars with engines displacing 10 litres or more.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Story by

We are like kids in a candy store, except the candy is made of metal, goes vroom-vroom, and occasionally bankrupts us faster than a sugar rush at a candy store sale! We spend hours debating the merits of turbochargers versus superchargers, and our weekends are a never-ending quest for the perfect polish and wax combo. We can identify every make and model by the sound of a revving engine, and our idea of a romantic evening is a candlelit dinner with our cars in the garage.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.supercars.net","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Supercars.net\/","https:\/\/instagram.com\/super.cars.fans","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/supercars_net"],"url":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/author\/supercars\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200547","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=200547"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200547\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/200549"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=200547"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=200547"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=200547"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
