As is noted on a plate on the dashboard, this elegant saloon belonged to a certain R. de Testa in Paris. He was evidently a man of taste, judging by the mechanical refinement of the B3-6, whose outstanding six-cylinder engine delivered first-rate performance for its time, especially as its saloon bodywork, using the Weymann method inspired by aviation, was unrivalled for its lightness. It was on display at the museum in Reims when it was sold by Philippe Charbonneaux to our client in 1993. In remarkably well-preserved condition, its original engine was rebuilt in 1994, and since then it has covered only 150km for the inaugural rally of the Lorraine-Dietrich Club in July 1995. It hasn't bee driven since then. It was later exhibited at the Parc de Saint-Cloud together with 17 other Lorraines in 2008, and then – with 27 of its sister cars – for the Lorraine-Dietrich retrospective at the first Salon Auto-moto in Metz in 2018. One cannot fail to admire the quality of construction of this luxurious saloon, which needs only a few things doing before taking to the road again.
