Specialist Notes

Le Zèbre was a French car manufacturer active from 1909 to 1931. In 1908, Jules Salomon, a young entrepreneur and Jacques Bizet, son of the famous composer Georges Bizet, built their own little car which had the advantage of offering the comfort of a car superior, but at a very low price. The model was baptized Type A and, starting from 1909, about a hundred copies were sold. As soon as the marketing of the car started, the brand problem arose. Both the two young builders wanted to give it their name, and a completely different name was chosen to get out of the stall: "Le Zèbre" (the zebra, in French). This example of Le Zèbre A, series III, was produced in 1913. It has an ASI homologation certificate and has been standing still for more than 30 years with the need for consequent restorations. It has bodywork painted in yellow gold and black (with red frame), the interior is in leather, and the hood is foldable.
