Looks rather like something I've seen a different-angled pic of. Is it a Claveau, perhaps from 1927?

I only have the name Claveau and it has been published in a 1928 magazine.

So I think this should be your point.

Which I want to see here, of course... ;)

In fact, it is the smallest of the Claveau models, the Claveau 4 CV, presented at the Paris salon 1928, powered by an air-cooled two-stroke twin of 570 cc.

I'm much interested by the history of Emile Claveau.
I'm looking for any copy (or photocopy) of the only book made on the man and his cars, which was written by Docteur François Jeanson.

François Jeanson made quite a lot of books on uncommon subjects, like Mochet, Rosengart and others. He was a well-known collector of strange cars.Unfortunately, his books are impossible to find now.

I've seen one on Rosengart, I have to say that they were awfully made (more like a pile of photocopys !), but for Claveau, I wouldn't mind, as obscure and intriguing his history is !

So, please let me know if any of you have this volume in his library.

I have a Georgano encyclopedia that shows this from the side (facing left). There it's captioned as "1927 Claveau 4CV 2-seater." I guess I can scan & post it this weekend.

The side view above is a better version of the same pic I was going to post.
