Founded in 1895 the Linon company initially made bicycles. but progressed into the new automotive industry two years later by selling the French-built Gauthier-Wehrle. which they later built under license.   Linon manufactured cars from 1897 to 1914 in Ensival Near Verviers Belgium. It is estimated that approximately 2000 vehicles were produced in this period.


 

The car offered for sale is believed to be the oldest survivor of the marque. it is extremely original and according to the VCC dating certificate there are no known modification's from the original manufactures specification. The car carries attractive vis-à-vis four-seater coachwork and is powered via a 4½ h. p. single cylinder. overhead valve with a two speed belt drive. described as simplicity at its best by the previous owner.
