I'm guessing that it would have been a similar car that MH drove on public roads from Paris to Rouen since no transport was available for him to get to the next race. One of the wonderful anecdotes from Hawthorn's biography - Challenge me the race. Some of the stories from the likes of Nuvolari, Fangio, Moss and Hawthorn never fail to amaze me in their reading. If my memory serves MH drove the car following a road car down to Rouen before he signed for Ferrari and after an engine rebuild in Paris.
