Lion-Peugeot Type VC2
Motor vehicle
The Lion-Peugeot Type VC2 was an early motor car produced near Valentigney by the French auto-maker Lion-Peugeot between 1909 and 1910. 1,175 were produced.
The cars represented an evolution of the Lion-Peugeot Type VC1 which had been in production since 1906. The Type VC2 retained a single cylinder 1,045 cm³ four stroke engine, mounted ahead of the driver. A maximum 9 hp of power was delivered to the rear wheels.
The wheelbase was now extended to 2,250 mm, supporting a vehicle length of 3,320 mm and providing space for between two and four people depending on the body specified. For this model Lion-Peugeot offered a wider range of open and closed body types than hitherto, including a Phaeton, a Landaulet, a Limousine and a small delivery van.
