Conceived for competition in the 20's, the Amilcar has a straight six cylinder engine with a double overhead camshaft, a dry sump system and a compressor.

The presented model is a 1927 C6, it has participated successfully for many years in the HGPCA. The car is in completely original state, with a fully reconditioned engine.
