CGV

This was one of a group of Edwardian cars in the paddock at the SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2007.
There was no information about it in the programme of the event, but it's a 1904 CGV and has a 4,944cc engine. The CGV company was formed in 1901 by Fernand Charron, Leonce Giradot & Emile Voigt, and was based in Puteaux to the north-west of Paris.

The cars were gathered in the paddock to take part in a run for Edwardian cars, and the programme said this about that run:

'Edwardian Run
At 9.30am on Saturday up to 15 Edwardian cars (1905-'19)
will leave the paddock on the third 40 mile Grand Prix Run.
The run, organised by Ron Birkett, was set up in 2005 to
mark the centenary of the first GP in Dieppe.'
