1903. German?

1903 is some years too early.

And no, it is not a german car.

American?

No, it´s european.

I had better called it a "racing voiturette" than cyclecar...
Anybody who drove this vehicle at racing speed must have been completely fearless...

Here it is at display at a fair stand of this company:

Rolland-Pilain ?

Did the manufacturer of this car also make production vehicles (I assume the puzzle car is a "racing special"), or were only low volume (one off?) racing cars produced?

Abeille, Aster and Buchet engines were used in several prodiuction type cars of this make and its "mother company".

The also were exported.

Not Aries

Passy-Thellier from about 1906?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #17 on:** August 27, 2014, 01:42:37 AM »

Very good,

LOCKED for you!

Passy-Thellier was the mother company mentioned.

But there was another brand name...

I found one reference to the name Mendelssohn, from 1906. Is this the name that you are looking for?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #19 on:** August 27, 2014, 02:05:33 PM »

Your point!

I really like the design of this little racer.

Does anybody have more information about this one and other Mendelssohn cars?
