Recorded originFrance
ClassHistoric passenger, commercial and competition automobile
Power8 hp
Entry single-cylinder member of Darracq's 1903 range, using the firm's pressed/standardized light-car practice and commonly supplied as a rear-entrance tonneau. Modern registry descriptions sometimes assign an 885 cc engine, conflicting with the contemporary-derived approximately 1.1-litre classification; capacity is therefore left unstructured. It was replaced as the range evolved rather than merged into the twin-cylinder Type K.
