Belgian singer Jacques Brel (1929 – 1978) performed his last concert on 16 May 1967.
On 21 May 1967 a certain G. Brel competed in the Montseny hillclimb with an Abarth 1300.
On 10 September 1967 resp. 08 October 1967 a certain J. Brel competed in the Coupes de Paris resp. Coupes du Salon at Montlhéry with an Abarth 1300 OT.
Was this the same man?

I'm afraid the French OT driver was rather Guy Brel ...

 

He competed also in the South-West (e.g. Ronde Cévénnole 1967 but was misprinted "Bren" in the program); therefore a trip to Montseny would not come as a surprise.
