Production1913–1919
Recorded originFrance
ClassStreamlined tandem two-seat cyclecar
Top prewar touring family, priced around 2,650 francs in 1913 and capable of roughly 80–85 km/h depending on specification. Two belts and stepped pulleys supplied two forward ratios; the rear driver slackened the drive by moving the rear axle and shifted the belt between pulley pairs. A 1919 example is documented, but wartime interruption means this span does not imply continuous 1914–18 civilian production.
