Oh and I found the picture online
Perfect.
Just to specify, it's not in Georgano's 'New Encyclopedia'. Do you know if it's in the Beaulieu?

But have you found any back-up to its existence in any other source?
I have this picture and a description from a contemporary magazine. What else would be required?
1900 Jussy Voiturette?
no
This voiturette was introduced at the same show where the Gallet & Itasse voiturette was also shown
'Tauzin' would be my last offer..
no
1898 Fortier?
no (and not from 1898)
1899?

that's fine...I was afraid it was just a name and a pic on the net, sorry to bother.
it is not a bother. You were right to worry :)
Not from 1899 (though the company was active in 1898 and 1899 too - according to the list on the net)
The last name on my current list of possibilities is: 1900 Cyrano Voiturette.
from 1900 but not a Cyrano

Is it on the first half of the alphabet?
A-M? :)
Let's try a different approach. Is this voiturette petrol powered?
first half of the alphabet, I don't know whether it was petrol powered or not
Here's the description from the magazine
Chavanet?
no
Campagne?
no
Metropole?
Is the name a single word or compiled of two?
Quotefirst half of the alphabet, I don't know whether it was petrol powered or not
OK, if the name of mystery voiturette, of unknown means of propulsion, is in the first half of the alphabet, am I correct in assuming that the name is a single word, and not multiple words as either a proper name(s) (as in: Andre Citroen), or a company name (as in: Delaunay-Belleville, or: Cottin & Desgouttes, or: Bollee et fils)?
Sorry Arunas, I was typing this when you posted.
it is just one word. Not Multiple
And is this single word rather long, say about 8 to 10 letters?
8 letters
Astresse?
No
The manufacturer existed from 1898 to 1900 and not before or afterwards?
1900 Bouttier Voiturette?
After a lot of failed attempts, 4popoid gets the point!!!!
Ladies and gentle people, let me present you, the 1900 Bouttier voiturette!
And congratulations to 4popoid
That would have been my next guess. Congrats!
