estimate: $000 000 - $000 000<br />

his Brütsch 200 prototype at the Paris Salon of 1954. He impressed a<br />

number of people and sold several licenses to build his cars. The license<br />

for France went to the Société air Tourist, headed by Jean avot, who<br />

had the French rights for the american Cessna airplanes.<br />

The French car first appeared as the Brütsch-avolette at the 1955 Paris<br />

Show. It was essentially the Brütsch 200, still with the German chrome<br />

script on the nose, with its twin faired-in headlamps, and with merely a<br />

large “avolette” decal under the bumper and portholes in the tail. It had<br />

a 175-cubic centimeter Ydral motor fitted in place of the Sachs unit,<br />

the normal Brütsch single “T” tube frame, and a fixed steering column.<br />

The “L’avolette” (the Brütsch<br />

had been dropped), which<br />

made its debut at the 1956<br />

Paris Show, was changed<br />

considerably. Most obvious<br />

was the single “Cyclops”<br />

headlight, which formed<br />

a central sculpted feature<br />

running the length of the<br />

hood. The twin fenders<br />
