History and specifications
[edit]The manufacturer took a stand at the 19th Paris Motor Show in October 1924 and exhibited a small, attractive 2-seater torpedo-style voiturette-roadster with a fashionably-tapered tail, and designated as the "AS Type A2" and the "AS Type A2S."[1] The 4-cylinder twin overhead camshaft engine had a capacity of 1,098 cc, and the wheelbase was just 2,180 mm (85.8 in).[1] Proprietary Chapuis-Dornier or C.I.M.E. engines were also offered. There were brakes on all four wheels.[1] The manufacturer's listed price was 17,000 francs.[1]
Three years later, production came to an end with only a few dozen of the little sports cars sold.[1]
