Avions Voisin C3

C3 L
The C3 C was launched in the 1921 Paris
Salon and was marketed as either a bare chassis or as a torpedo bodied
sports car. Front barkes were optional in 1922! By 1923 brakes on all four
wheels were standard and while sold as a bare chassis, the body designs
were always inspired by Voisin design. C3 cars gained 1st 2nd 3rd and 5th
places in the 1922 Strasbourg GP. About 440 cars were built before being
replaced by the C5 in 1924.
