Dear Sir,

Would you or anyone be able to tell me how many Cottin-Desgouettes were built in total?
I am especially interested in the production number of the model 22 HP 4 cylinder, torpedo built between 1910 and 1915. Are there any other rare models of this marque?

Kind regards and thanks,
DH

Unfortunately I do not know exactly how many Cottin Desgouttes were built. The firm produced for approximately 23 years (1904 to 1931, not counting the 1914-1918 war). Taking the 1913 figure of 450 cars as an average, a coarse estimate would be approximately 10.000 cars.

I am sending you a table of Cottin Desgouttes chassis, which provides a full list of the models; however I have no documents concerning the production numbers.

A new document has been added to the Cottin & Desgouttes web site. It contains chassis numbers from 1904 to 1922 and may be of interest (Catalogue des catalogues 1923 in section Documents/Articles).
