Proudly introducing Philos.

• 

In an ideal world we would like to come up with a new make every week. Like it must have been in the twenties. Never more makes were being marketed than in that decade. As if everybody who could bend a piece of iron started his own carfactory. This Lyon built Philos (1912-1923) is a decent pre WW I example with 4 cylinder 1100 cc Ballot engine(click). Last week it was found less than 2 miles from the home of the new owner who is looking for any kind of documentation to finalise the restoration that was commenced by an earlier owner. Well, for starters we found him a similar but much wider car with the Club de Automóviles Clásicos de la República Argentina. (photos by owner Tjitte de Jong; click to e-mail him)
