The fascinating history of the Amilcar brand

Founded in 1921 by André Morel and Edmond Moyet, the Amilcar brand takes its name from the initials of its founders and their financial partners. This bold French brand quickly established itself as a leading manufacturer of lightweight, high-performance sports cars.

The Amilcar Type CC and Type CGS revolutionized the world of motor racing in the 1920s. With their 1100cc 4-cylinder engines, these small sports cars could reach speeds of 120 km/h, a remarkable performance for the time. The brand particularly distinguished itself in hill climbs and speed events, winning numerous victories that forged its legendary reputation.

Amilcar's golden age was the 1920s and early 1930s , a period during which the brand produced its most iconic models. Unfortunately, the economic crisis of 1929 and the changing automotive market gradually weakened the brand, which ceased production in 1940.

An anecdote little known to enthusiasts

Few collectors know this fascinating anecdote: in 1926, an Amilcar Type CGS participated in the very first Monaco Grand Prix, an event that would become one of the most prestigious races in the world. Although the little French car did not win against the giants Bugatti and Alfa Romeo, its participation in this legendary race is a testament to the audacity and sportsmanship that drove Amilcar's management.

This car, driven by a French gentleman driver, finished honorably in the field, proving that small French sports cars could compete with the biggest European brands. This performance helped establish Amilcar's international reputation and explains why these models are so sought after by collectors worldwide today.
