TH. SCHNEIDER Automobiles

Bonjour,

Please excuse I do not speak French.
I am researching the marque Th. Schneider and would welcome any communication with other owners, period information or images on this automobile. I am especially interested in the model "25SP"/2 litre "Le Mans". It is perhaps most famous for its involvement in the Maison Blanc crash in the 1927 Le Mans 24 hour race with the Bentleys. I have found some period images of the Bentleys involved in this crash but none of the Th. Schneiders.

I also have considerable literature on the marque to share.

Not sure how to load images here but happy to send an image of my Schneider by email.

Merci

Marc

tiens, j'ai vu une Théo Schneider Le Mans 1100 cm3 Samedi dernier aux Classic Days à Magny-Cours...
immatriculée dans le Cher, dans la même famille depuis 75 ans...

Bonsoir,

Cette Théo Schneider est venue également aux journées bleues sur le circuit Bugatti et elle était accompagnée d'une cousine d'outre-manche.
J'ai transmis les renseignements et les copies des croquis à Marc il y a quelques années. Pour la petite histoire lorsque j'ai commencé à croquer la bête le propriétaire est retourné chercher la mascotte de radiateur qu'il avait démonté précautioneusement afin que je puisse la dessiner.

Amicalement

Merci pour rapide reponse.

I know of both the little blue THS and the 2 litre car from the UK and have been in communication with the owners of these cars.

I have just worked out how to load images! Here is one of my car. 1926 2 litre OHV THS. More to follow.

Bonjour
Voici une photo du Mans 1926 qui devrait faire plaisir à Marc s'il ne l'a pas déjà

Outre les SARA 42 et 43, mes préférées biensûr, on voit tout à droite la Théo Schneider 27

Merci for the image Saraband. This one I have not seen before.

Below is an image of the Maison Blanc crash (Le Mans 1927) after the road was cleared. The two Bentleys are in view. Unfortunately the two Schneiders hiding between the two farm houses in the background. The Schneiders that crashed in 1927 were #11 and #12.

Another Schneider with well proportioned coachwork by Sprenger at the Bruxelles Salon 1926.

Many thanks for all of the images including some of my own car.

Bonjour,

Is anyone able to identify the coachwork/carrossiers on these Th. Schneiders? I believe they are circa 1924 or 1925. Could they be Galle?, Monjardet?, Holliger et Leloup?, Wandres?, Henri Gauthier?, or...... Notice the inline spare tyres at the rear and the engine turned body work. Could this be a clue?

Regards
Marc
