What are you staring at? Avoins Voisin

Voisin was notorious for his intolerance of noise, which he considered to be the greatest assault on human senses. His sleeve-valve engines may have been nearly silent while idling, but most cars of the time also used noisy Bendix-patent electric starters, the grinding from which offended his ears. He designed and made his own, superior starter – the “DynaStart” – which cranked the engine over smoothly and quietly. It is visible on most of his cars, in the center of the front, below the radiator. Voisin also designed and built the world’s first hydraulic brakes, the first hydraulic clutch and first hydraulic suspension.

A Voisin was the auto of choice when one wanted to show off not only ones means for being able to afford such an expensive vehicle, but also to demonstrate ones intellect, sophistication and individuality. H.G. Wells was a customer, as were Josephine Baker, Maurice Chevalier, Anatole France and Raimu. François Mitterand owned no less than four Voisins, and Rudolph Valentino was sufficiently impressed to order two

Although body styles evolved over the years, one thing remained a constant: Voisin's "Cocotte" mascot (based upon an ancient Egyptian figure of a winged Isis) graced every radiator cap. In an era where radiator mascots were often made of silver- or gold-plated bronze, or of glass, Voisin stayed true to form with one machined out of solid aluminum.

the enameled badge was based on the stylized Egyptian motif scarab beetle in keeping with the Cocotte radiator mascot.

The C27 "Ski Coupé" was Art Deco styling. Even the interior fabric was designed by Gabriel Voisin. The roof literally slides out of the way, leaving no framing at the top of the windshield, for an un-obscured view of the road and sky. Note the shape of the window sills - intended for comfort when resting one's arm on while driving.

The 1932 wicker bodied C14 was for going to picnics.

the fabulous C28 Aerosport of 1935, the last car that Gabriel designed. This was the first passenger car to ever use the "pontoon" body-type, where the front fenders blend directly into the sides of the car.

When Gabriel Voisin realized that his era was past, he closed his workshop, and wrote his memoirs in two volumes, which he titled "My 10,000 Kites" and “My 1001 Autos”.

Much to Gabriel's surprise, when he was 85, the French government informed him that he was to be made a Commander of the Legion of Honor. The recognition must've been bittersweet. With only a small pension to live on, Gabriel Voisin continued on until 1973, when he died in poverty and obscurity, at 93 years old.

Avions Voisin built somewhere in the region of 11,000 automobiles in its 19 years of existence. Unfortunately, since aluminum was a material of vital strategic importance during World War Two and, since Voisins had aluminum bodies, most of them were destroyed; ironically, melted down to make military aircraft. Perhaps 200 Voisin automobiles still exist. Compared to many of its contemporaries such as Bugatti, Delage and Delahaye, Voisin is quite obscure; even most vintage car enthusiasts are unfamiliar with the marque. But among the cognoscenti, they are highly prized. In 2006, the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance featured Voisin, and 7 of them attended; nearly all of them the last of their type. That's why something like this totally original Voisin, recently discovered in a barn, is such a remarkable thing.

A 1928 4.5-litre Bentley (one of 8) taken apart and kept in boxes for 58 years all over a three-storey house, because after buying it as a young man while a student, he had no place to store it, and never was able to afford to reassemble it. 39,000 miles only

Former English teacher Mr Wallace bought the car for £280 in 1962 but could not afford to run it because he was a student at the time. And with nowhere to store it, he took apart the components and kept them at his townhouse where they remained for 58 years. He even kept a log of every part with photographs - and some were stored in jars of oil in the hope that one day it would be restored.

But Mr Wallace's wish only came true after his death when his daughter Bea Wallace-Hartstone called in a specialist Bentley dealership. A team of 12 specialists from the Medcalf Collection then spent ten months putting the pieces together to make it fully driveable again.

As William and the team from the Medcalf Collection continued to explore the house, they found headlights under the bed, while the dashboard and radiator were hidden in the spare room, on the bare entrance hall floorboards was a Bentley cylinder block. I saw a clutch on the stairs, then the conrods – there were literally bits everywhere and throughout the three-storey house.”

Stuart’s daughter then informed William that her father had a garage. On the roof was the bodywork, stored in broad daylight for all to see. In the undergrowth that surrounded said garage lurked a tarpaulin – a tarpaulin that covered a large metal chest containing more missing pieces of the puzzle.

Tom Cotter found some Cobras in barns, but never a Panther in a basement!

Last seen 37 years ago, and never since, the Panther was suspected of being in the possession of a certain military relic collector, but they didn't know, nor did they suspect he had torpedos. Yes, he did.

"When a Kiel prosecutor suspected the existence of war relics in a villa in the town of Heikendrof, the only way to find out was the police raid. Possession of war relics, or weaponry is banned in Germany and is a prosecutable offence. The raiding party and prosecutors were in awe to find a fully intact panther tank in the underground garage as well as a number of other weapons from the Nazi era."
