Solvay 118, registration NY3455F, was built in 1946 at Villeneuve la Garenne. All information on this page is taken from Vagus-Vagrant.fr unless otherwise stated.
Solvay 118 was put up for sale in 1978 by Solvay, when Pierre Pierru retired. An unknown craftsman bought it and named it Saint Michel as recorded on the stock exchange in Reims in June 1984. It was sold again in the mid-1980s and renamed Ma-Vy-Jo and then cut up in Couvrot (51) in 1988.

ZA, was a handyman, and his trademark was these weathervane dolls that he made
from Barbie dolls; their skirts turned in the wind:
