History
Produced between 1923 and 1926, the car had a four-cylinder 1847 cc block with detachable head and a two-bearing crankshaft, with two compensating cams said to allow quieter valve timing. From chassis 24394 the second series received a twelve-spring plate clutch. The single 3.060 m chassis was planned for a production of 700.
