Benjamin Type C economic 1922
Company/History
Benjamin was a French manufacturer of Cyclecars between 1921 and 1927 and based on the north-west edge of Paris and the firm was established by Maurice Jeanson in Asnieres eight kilometres from the centre of Paris.
 
The business started out with a range of cycle cars, identified as the Benjamin Type A, Benjamin Type B and Benjamin Type C
The Type C was a sporty version of the Type A, the volume of its 4-cylinder engine increased to 750cc.
 
What are Cyclecars?
After the First World War, almost everything was in short supply in Europe. To promote mobility, a favorable tax was introduced in various European countries on cars weighing a maximum of 350 kilos and with an engine capacity of 1100 cc. Factories, workshops, garages and sheds sprang up everywhere, where an enormous variety of vehicles were produced. Paris and the surrounding area alone had more than 100 large and small cars.

Weight: 350
Kilometers: unknown
 
Engine block
This car was powered by the efficient 750cc Gérard et Lemaître four-cylinder engine with a side carburetor and a magnet ignition.
the engine block is in good condition and the magnet has been overhauled.
 
History
The history about this car is very nice. The car has been built in 1922 and we think the car has been driving around Paris the time. Between 1922 till 1968 we don’t know we’re the car has been all the time. But what we do know, that the car in 1968 stand in a private museum for 50 years and is probably restored in the 80s.
After that the car went to a German and the cars has stand in his house as an art object in his living room.
 
Car now the day
Now this wonderfull Benjamin is in our collection and is offered for sale, this car is in good condition and look amazing with the wooden box on this car.
 
The Benjamin is a driving car, with new magneto, new radiator and the engine has been checked. New oil and bougies. only the car needs to be tuned better.

Unique Objects

Occasionally, two different bidders may show up in the bidding history with the same bid amount. This occurs when one user's bid is exactly the same as an automatic (maximum) bid placed by another user earlier. Since the auto-bid was placed first, this takes preference. The bidding history will show both bids, with the auto-bid ranked as the higher of the two.


Double bid

It may appear that the same bid has been placed by two different bidders. This can occur if someone places a bid in another currency which is then rounded to the same amount as the previous bid in %{local_currency}.

This can occur for the following reasons:
<p>1. If an opening bid does not meet a lot’s reserve price (hidden minimum), buyers may try outbidding their earlier bid in order to find that lot’s RP.</p>
<p>2. If an auto-bid (user-set maximum bid) is outbid, the bidding log will show the first and final steps of that user's auto-bid in a row. The new highest bid will be shown at the top.</p>

Why is this bidder outbidding him- or herself?
