Company history
The company from Ghent manufactured the F 125 mini-cutter under license from August 1951 . A draft coupé was also ordered from the licensor . When Paul Kleinschnittger personally brought the coupé to Ghent, he found that the production of the open two-seater was inadequate. This led to a dispute between the business partners and the license agreement was terminated. At the Brussels Motor Show in January 1952, the company then exhibited vehicles based on the Coupé and began production, which ended in the same year.
vehicles
The vehicles were a variant of the Kleinschnittger. Has driven the two-seater with an aluminum body, which it both open and as a coupe was, either from an ILO - two-stroke engine with 175 cc displacement , an air-cooled two-cylinder engine with 348 cc or a water-cooled two-cylinder engine with 400 cc displacement. The sales price was 39,900 Belgian francs for the coupé with 348 cm³ displacement and 44,900 Belgian francs for the coupé with the larger engine.
