History

Panhard was one of the oldest names in car manufacturing, dating back to 1872. By 1955 they had lost
their upmarket image and had to be rescued by Citroen, who eventually bought them in 1965. Their
post-war design, the Dyna, featured a jem of a little 848cc air cooled flat twin, pushing out over
60 Hp in stock trim. The firm of DB, (Deutsch-Bonnet, the full names of the owners being dropped
to avoid anti-German post-war sentiment) used this wonderful engine as the heart of thier advanced
sports coupe, designed for endurance racing. It featured a very Lotus-like method of construction:
a fibreglass monocoque astride a backbone chassis with outriggers at each end to accept the suspension.
