vehicles

The only model had a V2 engine that developed 4 hp or 4.5 hp depending on the source . The transmission had four gears. The drive power was transmitted to the rear axle via a chain. There was a choice of two- and four-seater bodies, the latter in barrel shape .

A vehicle of this brand has been preserved. It bears the British registration number K 3064 . For a long time the brand and manufacturer of this vehicle were unknown. On March 23, 1996, the Brooks auction house offered this vehicle at an auction, but it was not sold despite a bid of 34,000 DM . This vehicle provides a built-in motor of De Dion-Bouton for the drive. It is unclear whether the company offered such built-in engines as an option, or whether the vehicle was later converted. This vehicle occasionally competes in the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run .
