Competition prototype constructed with engineer Marcel Violet during Bernardet's postwar automobile experiments. The family archive identifies Bernardet personnel building the car and Violet's history describes the corresponding four-cylinder, five-speed Formula 3 project. Accessible evidence does not establish a race debut, results or homologated specification, so none are invented.

How this is measured → This record contains useful sourced evidence, but it does not yet meet the reference-ready standard. Still needed: attributed imagery. Fields we cannot source stay empty rather than guessed.

One photographed experimental racing voiturette is documented.
