Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1924 Amilcar CGS, a quintessential vintage French cyclecar, was restored in the late 1970s after being found dismantled in Essex. While it has undergone improvements and maintenance, including engine replacements and chassis repainting, it presents a beautiful example of a vintage Grand Sport eligible for various classic events.

Condition

7

The car underwent an extensive restoration in the late 1970s and has been maintained since. However, the listing mentions that the car was found in a dismantled state and required a new body skin, wings, engine, and rear axle. The chassis was also repainted. While it's been improved over time, these factors indicate it's not in pristine condition, but rather in solid condition with slight wear and reconditioning work done.

Owing its name to the combination of the founders' names, Joseph Lamy and Emile Akar, Amilcar commenced automobile production in St.

Denis, initially with a design by Citroën's Edmond Moyet.

Like the compatriot Salmsons, Amilcars representing the quintessential small French sports car of the 1920s, and its light cyclecars were an instant success.

Production later moved to Boulogne-sur-Seine, and after the cyclecar craze died out, Amilcar moved into the heavier touring car market during the 1930s.

The CGS model was produced between 1923 and 1925 as a development from the Amilcar Type C.

The new car featured four-wheel brakes, a longer and stronger chassis and the capacity of the four-cylinder side-valve engine was increased to 1,074 cc.

A really beautiful and archetypal example of the vintage Grand Sport (and refreshingly different from all those painted in the usual Bleu de France), ‘YW 95’ was discovered in 1972 in a dismantled state round the back of a garage in Essex.
