1912 CLEMENT BAYARD AC4 AL Series 13483 Same owner since 1997 Collector's registration Adolphe Clement Bayard was a workaholic entrepreneur, and in the course of his life he tackled virtually every field of mechanical engineering: cycles, airplanes, airships and finally automobiles. After a first foray into tires, when he obtained the Dunlop license in France, Clement Bayard made several investments in various manufacturers before launching his own firm. Named after him, Bayard's production was aimed at the middle classes, with an emphasis on small and medium-sized cars. The example we present here is an AC4AL. It was purchased by our collector in 1997. The engine has been rebuilt and is now inside the car. The connections have yet to be finalized, so that this beautiful ancestor can be used for rallies reserved for them. All the vehicles in the Rollet collection have been out of service for at least 5 years, so we'll need to get them up and running again, as well as passing a technical inspection.
