Recorded originFrance
ClassHistoric passenger, commercial and competition automobile
Power28 hp
Early 20/28 HP four introduced in 1905 and singled out in contemporary-derived history as chain driven when the rest of the regular range used shafts. That mechanical difference prevents merging it with the 1907 Type SS 20/28, which had four speeds and shaft drive. Body catalog, exact capacity and whether every 1906 example retained chains remain unresolved.
