SUMMARY
Built in the early '80s by Richard Stanley, this Type G-based, AC-engined 'Special' has a detailed and interesting history including a pole position at the 1988 Australian GP support race. Complete with CAMS papers and VSCC eligibility documents.
DESCRIPTION
Established in a small Parisian premises by Joseph Lamy and Emile Akar in July 1921, Amilcar’s first product was a cyclecar. Designed by Jules Salomon and Edmond Moyet it was first exhibited at the Paris Motor Show in October of that year, by which time Amilcar had relocated to a larger factory on the northern edge of Paris. The first true ‘car’ to appear wearing the Amilcar badge was a 903cc four-cylinder called the CC, built on a short 2320mm wheelbase, which in turn gave birth to two further versions, the slightly longer Amilcar C4 sports car, while the CS, introduced in 1924, was a brisker sports version with the engine size increased to 1004 cc.
In 1925 Amilcar introduced the Type G, powered by a 1100cc version of the four-cylinder engine (good for 27hp), with a four-speed transmission and suspension via semi-elliptic leaf springs with shock absorbers on both axles.Top speed was said to be in the region of 100 km/h depending on the type of bodywork, which was offered in sedan, coupe, and convertible variants. Having had limited market success, production ceased in 1927.
Full details about this beautiful Type G-based, Special to follow.
