Thanks for the pointer Larry.
It’s hard to imagine what drove Lecot to keep going.
I wonder if anyone has a copy of his book “Mes 400.000 kilomètres: souvenirs de François Lecot”?
Another book “François Lecot : 400 000 km en Traction, 1935-1936” by Gilles Blanchet and Fabien Sabates is 128 pages so should have all the details – but I don’t have a copy.
