Company history

The designer Marcel Violet founded the Société Industrielle de Matériel Automobile company in Courbevoie in 1924 for the production of automobiles. The brand name was Sima-Violet , where Sima was the short form of Société Industrielle de Matériel Automobile and Violet stood for the designer. Production ended in 1929. Sima-Standard took over the company.

vehicles

The only vehicle was a cycle car , a vehicle on the level between motorcycle and car.

The car had a front mounted air-cooled two-cylinder two-stroke - Boxer engine (mm bore 65, stroke 75 mm) with a displacement of 497 cc with a standard maximum power of 10 PS. The power was transmitted to the rear wheels via a two-speed gearbox. The maximum speed is said to have been reached 110 km / h.

The Sima-Violet was mainly produced as a two-seater on a central tubular frame, but also as a single-seater for sporting use. The wheels were suspended on rigid axles, with an upper transverse leaf spring and friction shock absorbers at the front and semi-elliptical springs at the rear. Only the rear wheels were braked.
