Footnotes

 Lucien Rosengart was an engineer and member of Citroën's board of directors until he decided to go it alone in 1928. Like BMW had in Germany, Rosengart secured the manufacturing licence for Austin (in France) and set about making cars, based on Austin mechanical designs, in Neuilly-Sur-Seine, Paris. The first of these were Seven-based but with the engines cast in France by Rosengart. The gearbox and front axle were to Austin pattern also, but Rosengart designed his own body, 7' 3"-wheelbase chassis, and half-elliptic six-stud rear axle.

A later deluxe version, this extremely rare Rosengart LR4 N2 coupé was first registered in the UK in 2016 after residing in France from new. An older restoration, the car was entrusted to Torque BHP (associated with Austin Seven specialists Pigsty Racing) in December 2018 for extensive refurbishment of the brakes, suspension, and steering at a cost of £2,442.30 (bill on file). In addition, the engine oil was changed and the engine test-run for half an hour with no problems found, following which the lighting was checked over. A speedometer was fitted in the dashboard and the car test-driven prior to the MoT, which it passed. Offered with the aforementioned bill and a V5C Registration Certificate, this stylish Rosengart Coupé is ready to be enjoyed.
