Hotchkiss was a French car manufacturer in the time between 1903 and 1955.

In 1948 Hotchkiss bought the rights to produce the Gregoire, a luxury saloon car designed by Jean-Albert Grégoire (the clue to the letters "J.A.G." in the model name).
The car was extremely modern for its time, having front-wheel-drive and a lightweight aluminium body.

With its low weight and streamlined body the car achived a remarkable victory at the 1949 and 1950 Monte Carlo Rally.

Production started in 1950, but due to the high price only 247 cars were produced in total until 1953.

Hotchkiss is one of the long lost aristocratic French manufacturers.

The JAG Gregoire was their attempt to join the modern post-war world. 

There's a certain family similarity to Panhard and and later Citroen models, with a 2,180 cm³ and 75 hp front drive flat four.

But production ran to only 247, including this Chapron bodied example, the only one to be brought into Thailand. 

Forced merger with Delahaye signalled the end of JAG production and the company itself lasted only another two years before becoming a builder of Jeeps under licence.

Hotchkiss made machine guns.

Their Coventry side of things was bought up at the beginning of Morris MG.

Hence some of the weird 'foreign' threads used.
Gregoire was Amilcar's designer.

He came on bord when Hotchkiss merged with it."

Lovery car.


Version featured a stunningly beautiful styling.
