Around a dozen vehicles were built up until production was discontinued in 1991.

vehicles

At first only bodies were created. A racing car that still exists today was created on the chassis of an Amilcar Pégase . A modified four-cylinder engine from the Peugeot 402 with 1992 cm³ displacement provides the drive . In addition, chassis from Citroën , Georges Irat and Peugeot were used for superstructures for sports cars.

From 1982 the company produced replicas of classic automobiles. Initially, models from Delage (Delage D6) and Automobiles Delahaye (Delahaye 135) were the models. The bodies were made of aluminum . In 1983, replicas of the Talbot models T 110 , T 120 and T 150 were added. There was a choice of built-in engines from the Peugeot 505 with intake manifold injection , from the Talbot Tagora and from Renault (four-cylinder engines from the Renault 18 or Renault 20 ). The new price was between 130,000 and 150,000 French francs .
