That front-on photo shows its more 'agricultural' roots...

 

Somebody's dream machine, I guess. But a 'Special' of the nature that I like to see.

Madame Brigitte Bigata Bernet (= Georges Bigata's granddaughter) posted a réflexion concerning ALM trucks, dated 21 January 2021 - including numéro de téléphone.
Possible that she knows more about the Bigata of image no. 10.

This picture is from the Auto Retro, in Barcelona - circa 1994/95. Behind the Bigata, the Pegaso Z-102 Spider Rabassada that, by then, had been recently recreated.

Another contemporary photo of the Bigata,
(was for sale on ebay some time ago)
made by "Photo Lafont, 25(?) Rue Ste. Catherine, Bordeaux".

The special made promotion for Cendoctane, a "supercarburant gazeux à plus de cent d'indice d'octane" (probably produced by Gaz de France at Toulouse?).

Found this on Pinterest. Apparently a promotional cigarette lighter with Cendoctane branding. Cendoctane seems to have been a brand name used by RAP (Régie Autonome des Petroles) in the early 1950s. See page 11 of this booklet (downloadable PDF) - https://iris.univ-li...andle/1908/4415
