Recorded originSpain
ClassHistoric cyclecar, microcar and light commercial vehicle
Power10 hp
Principal postwar David microcar, designed by Josep Maria Moré Comas around a central-spine chassis whose engine/gear unit steered with the single driven front wheel. Mechanical brakes acted on all three wheels; front leaf/coil and rear torsion-leaf suspension and an 18-litre tank are documented. Early cars around 215 kg and a reported 75 km/h claim are source variants. The 1955 second-series body changes remain a facelift, not another model, and M.2 T.1 is the engine designation.

How this is measured → This record contains useful sourced evidence, but it does not yet meet the reference-ready standard. Still needed: attributed imagery. Fields we cannot source stay empty rather than guessed.
Research notes
About 60 passenger and commercial David vehicles combined in 1951–57 according to the company archive; secondary estimates reach 75, with no body split.
