S.C.A.R. factory before its destruction in World War I.
Story by Jim Donick
S.C.A.R. (Société de Construction Automobile de Reims) is not exactly a household name amongst motoring enthusiasts. Not even Lord Montague saw fit to mention them in his Lost Causes of Motoring. Yet, for a relatively brief moment in time, much like Brando lamented in On the Waterfront, they “coulda been a contender.” Examples of the marque were raced with some success at the Brooklands Circuit in the UK as well has having taken part in a number of other significant racing events during the period.
