Samoes

Samoes was a 1955 Spanish three-wheel microcar built by a separate, presently unidentified Valencia firm after Cimera's short production period. It reused or developed the Cimera tadpole platform, with two front wheels and one rear wheel, but received new bodywork and a Hispano-Villiers two-stroke engine in place of Cimera's 250 cc overhead-valve unit. Hardtop and convertible versions are documented; they are treated as body configurations of one Three-Wheeler family because no separate factory model names or chassis differences survive. The accessible historical summary provides no engine displacement or output, transmission, dimensions, weight, seating count, maximum speed, price, production total, serial numbers, manufacturer address or fate beyond 1955. Evidence is insufficient to call Samoes merely a Cimera trim because both a different producing firm and different engine are stated, so it receives a unique marque history. It is distinct from Samo, Samoa, Spanish surnames and unrelated later businesses. One row accounts for its complete recoverable range.
