HOTCHKISS 686 S49 GASCONY 1949 Type : 686S49 Chassis...

HOTCHKISS 686 S49 GASCONY 1949 Type : 686S49 Chassis number : 85472 Engine number : 12463 Engine : 6 cylinders in line, 3 485 cm3 (Ø cyl. 86 x 100). 95 horsepower. Gearbox : Manual, 4 gears plus reverse. Rear wheel drive. Mileage : 96 209 km on the odometer. Registration : French, 20 HP - 5 seats. Technical inspection: In progress. Condition : Rolling, very good general condition, high quality restoration. Starting price : 20 000 €. Presented at the Paris Motor Show in October 1948, the Hotchkiss 686 S49 was equipped with the classic 3.5L in-line 6-cylinder engine, and the 4-door, 4-seat version was given the name "Gascogne". With its pre-war look and powerful mechanics, the 686 S49 is the ideal mount for long family rides to the cavernous sound of the 6 cylinder 20 HP. Restored to its original configuration, everything has been redone or checked, from the chassis to the mechanics, upholstery, bodywork and electricity. An alternator and an electric fan have been adapted to facilitate its use in the current traffic. The original service manual and various documents, photos and invoices are enclosed.
