The Bucciali brothers started making a small cyclecar under the name of Buc at Courbevoie. It was powered by a twin-cylinder two-stroke engine of 1340cc. It was followed in 1925 by a 1600cc SCAP-engined car available in two versions: Tourisme and Quatre Speciale supercharged. They also built a 1500cc six-cylinder car. In 1928 the Buccialis made cars which caused a great sensation: the TAN six-cylinder and an eight-cylinder front-wheel-drive with Sensaud de Lavaud automatic gearbox. This attempt was followed in the 1930s by the Double Huit, also fwd, powered by two straight-eight Continental engines mounted side by side. The last of these prototypes was made with a Voisin 12-cylinder engine. Very few of these fwd Bucciali cars ever reached the road.  Alberto Bucciali in 1931 with his 30 CV 8 cylinders. ©VEA
