Derby
Founded
1921 - Seine, France
About
Derby was founded in Courbevoie by Bertrand Montet in 1921 to build voiturettes (cyclecars). These were powered by American vee-twin motorcycle engines, which were shortly replaced with Chapuis-Dorniers. In this form, it became a close copy of Citroën's 5CV ("five horsepower"); at £195 for the two-seat roadster, it was competitive with the contemporary Austin Seven (£225).
