vehicles

The first model had the engine in the rear and was similar to the German Benz . The various body superstructures offered space for two, four or six people. One vehicle took part in the car race from Paris to Marseille and back in 1896 .

A further developed model looked more like the more modern Panhard & Levassor . A two-cylinder engine with 2920 cm³ displacement , which was mounted in the front of the vehicle, provided the drive. The transmission had four gears.

A vehicle of this brand still exists. It belongs to the collection of Leonardslee Gardens in Lower Beeding near Horsham and is occasionally used in the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run .
