A little Renault eye candy...

OK here is one for the Fregate Sleuths.
A friend has acquired a rally plate from the 1954 Monte Carlo rally. Car 49 came 93rd and was a Renault Fregate.
He would like to see if he can find any photos or history on the car to accompany this rare find.

I’ve found video footage on YouTube but no photos yet.

at 2:04 possibly and at 3:08ish definitely. Can’t post a link but it is British pathe YouTube channel. If you Google it, the link will pop up.
 
I think the OP is omitting the fact that apart from the obvious speed factor, that if he kept watching the clip he will see car 49 is being thrown into a hairpin turn whereas car “56” is going though what appears to be a slight deviation 😃

Well I was there and I'm pretty sure I was driving to my limit.
