This specimen found near Paris in 2002 belonged to a French gentleman since the 1960s. The car is in an extraordinary state of conservation of the interior and exterior, it preserves the original softop and leather interior.

Model history and curiosity

The Type G was proposed by the House of Saint-Denis to replace the unfortunate Type L: the chassis was identical, even in the technical solutions applied. There was therefore a 4-speed gearbox and semi-elliptic leaf spring suspension and shock absorbers on the two axles. The engine was also the same 1244 cm³ 4-cylinder capable of delivering 27 HP of maximum power. The performances were also identical: the maximum speed was between 100 and 110 km/h, depending on the type of bodywork, which was offered in three variants, namely sedan, coupé and cabriolet, exactly as in the Type L.

The difference was in the more boxy and conventional body style. Evidently it was believed that the Type L had not worked the idea of the car body with rounded lines. But even the Type G was not very successful and was prematurely retired in 1927
