French manufacturer Alba introduced its smaller Bobby-Alba around 1921 during a change of ownership and a broadening of the Suresnes company's range. The Bobby-Alba was a 6 CV cyclecar with a 1,243 cc engine, three-speed gearbox and torpedo body for two or four occupants. Period branding treated Bobby-Alba as a distinct identity, while technical histories also correctly describe it as an Alba model; the catalog therefore preserves the public compound badge but records its parentage. Sources bracket its use around 1920–1924, and no additional Bobby-Alba type is documented.
