The surprising
life of this small car start in 1935 with a
astonishing specification :
A small car
witch can transport 2 peasants using clog, 50 kg of
potatoes or a small barrel of wine at a 60 km/h
maximum speed with a consumption of 3 liters of
gasoline for 100 km.
This vehicule
must also go on the very bad small roads; it must be
drived by novice driver woman.
It must be
confortable ; a basket of eggs on the rear seat must
arrive undamaged even if the car run on the worst
road.
The price must
be low aside the competitors and the esthetic had really no
importance.
The name of
this project was T P V for Très Petite Voiture =
Very Small Car
Down 2
prototypes of the T P V; both use water cooling. The
twin cylinder air cooled engine will be design after
1941 by the genius Becchia.
