Description

When the current owner bought his luxury Hotchkiss Anjou 686 30 years ago, the idea was that it would be refurbished, but instead it became garaged. The body is completely non-rusted and no dents, while the interior fabric is in poor condition. The pictures don’t show the horn mounted bumper and side windows, however, the parts are available.
The history of this particular car is not known, but in total only approx 5 500 cars ever built between 1950 and 1954, making it unusual today. Most cars were ordered with a four-cylinder engine but some also with the larger and more expensive 3.5-liter straight six with overhead camshaft like this one.

Facts about the model

The Hotchkiss Anjou was a luxury car offered between 1950 and 1954 by the French automaker Hotchkiss. It was an updated version of the 486 and 686/866 models which had first appeared in the 1930s and inherited its engines from those cars, although their engines in turn dated back to OHC units introduced in the mid-1920s.
There was a choice of two engine sizes. Most cars were shipped with a four-cylinder ohc 2,312 cc water-cooled unit with one or, at the customer’s option, two carburettors. However, a longer-nosed version allowed space for the larger ohc six-cylinder 3,485 cc water-cooled engine that promoted the car into the stratospheric 20CV taxation class, but increased claimed maximum power from 72/75 hp to 100/125 hp, with a corresponding increase in claimed maximum speed from 130 km/h (81 mph) to 145 km/h (90 mph).Sources for the power output vary, possibly according to whether the engine was fed by one or two carburettors.

In addition to the 5,465 Anjous produced, the company built about 40 of the 2-door cabriolet Anthéor models. The only car model that won the Monte Carlo rally five times - 1932, 1933, 1934, 1939, 1949.
