1900 Clement Voiturette
In common with many of his contemporaries, Adolphe Clément had already amassed a fortune manufacturing bicycles and pneumatic tyres before he turned his hand to motor car manufacture.
His early efforts were light cars powered by Astor, Panhard and, in this case, a 2.25h.p. single-cylinder De Dion engine. In the complex world of early motor manufacture and, in common with Talbot, the name Clément and some of its factories were bought by an English syndicate. Cléments were even made under license in Scotland, by Stirling of Hamilton.
This 1900-built Clement Voiturette BS8054 is on display at Haynes Motor Museum in Somerset.
