Amilcar - Amilcar C4
The Amilcar C4 had a 57x95 engine (just over 1,000cc) putting it in the French 6HP tax bracket. It was referred to in the period French magazines also as the Amilcar 4C. The C4 was available from 1922 and was in production until 1929. The main alteration during this time was providing a differential half way through its production life! The C4 was a popular model, economically priced with low running costs - it was very similar to the Amilcar CC and CS apart from being given a longer wheel base.
Tyre size for the Amilcar C4 was 700x80. In fact all these ealy Amilcar models ( types CC and CS ) were fitted with this same 700x80 tyre, which was also the 26x3 size. Blockley produce the best 700x80 tyre with a robust sidewall and suitable for motor cars ans well as motorcycles. We have also be reliably informed that the larger 710x90 was also an option with the C4, See full details of the 700x80 / 26x3 and 710x90 tyres below:
