John,
A very striking looking vehicle. It's very low slung and that aspect interests me. Is the chassis "zeee'd", to coin a phrase, to permit access within the body?

Mal: I know the history of Voisin but can give you little or no information on the Voisin C-20. The only information that I have is that this car was built in 1931 and had a V12 sleeve valve engine. The -20 may have come with a Cotal preselector transmission.
I have only seen one other Voisin in my time and the was in Naples Florida about six years ago at an CCCA meet. Then a few years later at another car show here on the central east coast in the USA, the same Voisin was on display. Voisin did build tow different size V12 engines starting in 1929. The v12 engine sizes are as follows 3.9 liters and 4.9 liters. John F. Shireman

Mal; I did find out some information on the C20 Voisin. It seems that there are only 100 Voisin remaining in the world. This Voisin is considered the most valuable of them all. The car was shown at Pebble Beach in 2006 the sold. The current owners of the C-20 are the Munder Collection of West Palm Springs Florida which restored the C-20.

This Voisin, looks like the one that was in the Blackhawk Museum. We never were allowed to open the hood. Would like to see more of the engine compartment. Not sure, if this is the same car, but will check my files. Striking automobile. A Voisin won Best of Show at Pebble Beach a few years ago. It was the year the Maybach was featured. Again, don't have this info at my finger tips.

MrPushbutton, I saw that car at a CCCA meet in San Jose, CA a few years ago. A most beautiful automobile.
