Voisin C11 berline
French registration - No reserve - The charm of Gabriel Voisin's designs - Very nice presentation - Representative of French Art Deco style Gabriel Voisin was not like any other manufacturer. Inventive and uncompromising, he imposed his ideas against all odds. This is what allowed him to develop complete cars as unusual as the Famous Voisin "Laboratory" which, as its name suggests, was a real laboratory and in 1923 he got into competition. For his touring cars Gabriel Voisin remained orthodox, while bringing special attention to sound insulation of the car and the isolation of the passenger compartment versus the mechanical elements, and the glass surface that would important. With his beginnings in aviation, he developed in 1908 with his brother Charles the first aircraft capable of taking off and landing on its own, and also performing a complete loop, which made him very attentive to the weight, which he always tried to limit. Always in the search of silence and smoothness, Voisin adopted for his engines the Knight sliding valves. After a series of models with four-cylinder engines, Voisin finally decided to add in 1927 a six-cylinder model in its catalogue: it was the C11, with an engine size of 2300cc. This Voisin C11 saloon on sale was purchased by its current owner at an auction organized in 1984 by Mr. Poulain. Since he rarely used the car and has the appearance of an old restoration having been made to the rules of the art, the six-cylinder engine without valves is working fine. This car has the originality and charm of the production series of Gabriel Voisin, with full wheel covers, its "Cocotte" radiator and its interior and its beautiful clear dashboard. It represents a way of driving with a pre-war car that stood out from mass production products. It is a car of great prestige, a beautiful ode to the inimitable Art Deco style.
