Sinpar Plein Air One of the pre-production cars Early Publicity photo of the Manic Another survivor still residing in Quebec SERIAL NUMBER: 491 PRODUCTION #: ? CHASSIS #: R1123 4557937 COLOR: White LOCATION: Montreal, Quebec, Canada CONDITION: Original N.A. Spec. Restored Owners Name: N. Reichenbach Identification: Registry of Canadian Cars and Owners Sinpar serial #491, like many of the other Canadian cars was in very poor condition and painted a horrible hue of pink when Nicolas Reichenbach discovered it. After numerous years of searching, he was finally able to buy one of these northernmost surviving Plein Airs, and with the help of good friend and mechanic, Stephane Larivee completed an amateur restoration during the Covid lockdown. Even including the Terre des Hommes original color scheme and logos. While the car is by no means restored to its original level, mechanically it is as good, or better, than original, and is still as much fun to drive as it was when it was new.
