Production1911–1913
Recorded originFrance
ClassSingle-seat aluminium-bodied racing cyclecar
Purpose-prepared racing family with lowered or streamlined aluminium body and, in some forms, disc-covered wheels or the front seat faired over. It won numerous cyclecar classes and records; Bourbeau's car became the official 1913 Amiens Cyclecar Grand Prix winner after the first-finishing three-wheel Morgan was ruled ineligible. Event-specific streamlining and direct-drive experiments remain configurations.
