}}Villard was a French automobile manufacturer between 1925 and 1935.[1]

Beginnings

The first 4HP Villard was constructed in 1923.[2] It appeared to be a late-comer to the Cyclecar boom that had followed the First World War.[1] It had only three wheels, with the single wheel, at the front, providing both the traction and the steering.[2] The wheelbase was of {{convert|1850|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} and the two-stroke engine of 345cc.[2]

Launch

The car made its public debut in October 1924 at the 19th Paris Motor Show, priced by the manufacturer at 4,950 francs.[2] In 1925 the Société des Automobiles Villard was registered.

Middle period

Four years later the vehicle on the show stand at Paris was again a three wheel cycle car with a {{convert|1850|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} wheelbase and a single cylinder two-stroke engine, but the engine capacity was now given as 350cc.[3] Many of these little three-wheeler cyclecars used bodies adapted for use as small delivery vans.[1]

Later years

In 1927 a small number of four wheeled cars were produced: these used a chain drive to deliver power to the front wheels. Now a 500cc V4-cylinder was also available.
