Hello Roland,
 
I hope everything is ok? You remember my 203 with compresseur? Well I have got another one, a 201 roadster, to be finished.....
 I send you some photographs of my 201, because I like your 201/203 site very much. This is one of the first 201's (1930) with a special body. The chassis and engine are standard 201, lucky because engine parts are still easy to get. The body is problably manufactured by a coachbuilding company. The sign of this company is still on the grill, but I haven't dicovered which company it is. Maybe you can tell me more about it?  I believe that the design is very beautiful, the caracteristics of the '30 combined with speed (as far as possible). The car is still french registered and has an french licensenumber. The owner before me bought it in Belgium, but orginal the car was in Carrieres sur Seine registered. Much about the history I don't know. It must have driven in Paris, I found a coin of an Paris restaurant in the car. It still exist. Maybe someday have a diner over there....
 
There is still some work to do, as you can see..... Problem is, I don't have the time for it, so I am thinking of selling it. We will see.
 
Best regards,

Nico Kuiper
