A peaceful Christmas to all members

Just to show what happens when I’m let off the leash and escape to purchase something off piste

This is a Simar type 7 of which the sole importer was Piccard – Pictet & Co, London, The engine is a MAG V twin 4 stroke water cooled(Motosacoche Acacias Geneva) The same engine as used in early Morgan cars. The French records would class this as a M7, but this model is stamped with 1919 on one of the machine plates and the milling covers resemble their model 5 of 1918 – 1919

Bonsoir

Effectivement ce doit être un M7, il ressemble à mon Somua C2. Comme me l’avait expliquait Mr Dufour, dernier patron de Simar, les 50 premier C2 ont été fabriqué par Simar et revendu à Somua, c’était le M7.

Good evening

Indeed it must be an M7, it looks like my Somua C2. As Mr. Dufour, last boss of Simar, explained to me, the first 50 C2s were manufactured by Simar and resold in Somua, it was the M7.

Thank you Marc
I think the main problem again when identifying early machinery is always matching it to any paperwork that is available, and peoples memories, As has been stated already in their history that the early days, the cost of producing the machinery nearly broke the company. also unlike in the modern world we live in, every machine made would have had slight differences, and in some cases their development went backwards.
Its like the history of who owned this machine in the past few years, just because my great friend John Little in Edinburgh looked after it, did not mean that he owned it! That was the perception of others.

Bonsoir

C’est tout a fait ça! Puis-je mettre la photo sur le site SIMAR?
Comptes-tu le repeindre dans sa couleur d’origine?
Si tu connais son petit frère, je suis preneur.

A plus

Good evening

That’s exactly it! Can I put the photo on the SIMAR website?
Are you planning to repaint it in its original color?
If you know his little brother, I’m interested.

See you more

Mark
