ClassLight postwar cyclecar
Smallest Série M model under Binet/Mahieux ownership, with claimed speed around 45 km/h. The postwar design replaced the primitive hand-shifted pulley arrangement with a three-speed friction-roller transmission and later revised the occupant layout; exact year of each seating transition is unresolved.
