1951 Panhard Dyna Type X86 Saloon
Chassis no. X86477591
Engine no. 019155

• Technologically advanced French light car
• Resident in Italy since 1994
• Restored in the 2000s
• Mille Miglia Storica participant in 2006 and 2010

Panhard abandoned its large-capacity range in the post-WW2 era to concentrate on small utility cars of considerable mechanical ingenuity, based initially on a design by front-wheel drive pioneer, Jean-Albert Grégoire. Powered by air-cooled, horizontally opposed, twin-cylinder engines, these Dyna Panhards featured front-wheel drive (of course), independent front suspension, torsion bar springing, aluminium bodywork and a typically Gallic dashboard gearchange. The cars were fast for their size, economical and handled well.

'1520WL42' was the previous French registration (Prefecture de la Loire) of this delightful little Panhard, which arrived in Italy in 1994. In 2002 the car was registered in Italy and restored in order to participate to the Mille Miglia, which it did on two occasions, in 2006 and 2010. The mechanical side of the restoration was entrusted to Officini Gamberini of Bologna, and the car comes with a dynamometer printout confirming the engine's maximum power output of 53bhp at 5,000rpm (dated 2006). In 2019 the Panhard was sold to a well-known Bologna based collector. Probably the most affordable and fun way of competing in the Mille Miglia Storica, the Panhard presents in overall good condition and is ready to be used. The car is homologated and comes with Italian registration documents, FIVA passport as well as ASI Targa Oro certificate.

1951 Panhard Berline Dyna Type X86

Châssis n° X86477591
Moteur n° 019155

• Voiture légère française à la technologie raffinée
• En Italie depuis 1994
• Restaurée dans les années 2000
• A participé aux Mille Miglia Storica de 2006 et 2010


A l'issue de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Panhard abandonna ses grosses berlines pour se consacrer à de petites voitures pratiques très évoluées mécaniquement, dérivées d'un concept de base dû au pionnier de la traction avant, Jean-Albert Grégoire. Equipées d'un bicylindres à plat refroidi par air, ces Dyna Panhard se caractérisaient par, bien sûr, la traction avant, des roues avant indépendantes, une suspension par barres de torsion, une carrosserie en aluminium et un levier de vitesses à la planche de bord, disposition typiquement française. Ces voitures rapides pour leur taille et économiques tenaient bien la route.

Cette délicieuse petite Panhard était immatriculée dans la Loire sous le numéro 1520 WL 42 lorsqu'elle arriva en Italie, en 1994. Elle y fut réimmatriculée en 2002 et restaurée en vue de participer aux Mille Miglia, ce qu'elle fit par deux fois, en 2006 et en 2010. La partie mécanique de sa restauration avait été confiée à l'Officini Gamberini, de Bologne ; elle dispose d'un relevé de passage au banc de performance daté de 2006, qui confirme une puissance maximale de 54 ch à 5 000 tr/min. Cette Panhard fut vendue en 2009 à un collectionneur bien connu habitant Bologne. Elle est en bon état général et prête à rouler ; elle représente probablement la façon la plus abordable et la plus amusante de participer aux Mille Miglia Storica. Elle est homologuée et munie de ses documents d'immatriculation italiens, de son passeport FIVA et de son certificat de l'ASI Targa Oro.
