The French Darmont-Morgan (Morgan licence) cyclecar from 1923, V2, three wheels
Darmont was a French automobile manufacturer, based at Courbevoie in the Paris conurbation, and active between 1919 and 1939.
The Darmont-Morgan is virtually indistinguishable from the Morgan three-wheeler on which it was based. At the front, was an air-cooled V-2 cylinder 4-stroke motor tilted forward and with a capacity of 1084 cc, which was enough to power the vehicle to a top speed of about 125 km/h (78 mph).
By the time of the October 1928 Paris Motor Show, the manufacturer was displaying a range of Morgan-based three wheelers, with a range of performance, levels, but most of them still with the 1084 cc engine of which both air-cooled and water-cooled variants were offered.
The little cars had a successful career in street races and mountain races such as the Mont Ventoux Rally. In 1921, Darmonts took the first three places in a road race from Paris to Nice.
