	1914 DARRACQ 16HP TYPE V-14 TWO SEATER AND DICKEY - Motorbase
		Alexandre Darracq had made a fortune from the French cycle trade in the 1890s but it was not until 1900 that he marketed his first successful motorcar.
		Although Darracq was neither a driver, nor personally interested in motor racing, he pursued a vigorous and successful policy of racing and record-breaking to publicise his firm's products.
		In 1912 profits plunged to almost zero and at the age of 56 Alexandre was obliged to retire from the firm he had founded, his pain perhaps eased by a move to Monte Carlo where he had significant business interests.

		Following research by the vendor and Christie's this recent find is believed to be a Darracq dating from late 19th Century during which time Alexandre Darracq was producing a succession of basic quadricyles and tricycles at Suresnes.
		Darracq experimented at this time with various motorised vehicles and in 1895 exhibited a small petrol car at the 1895 automobile exhibition in Paris.
		The earliest Darracq currently listed with the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain is dated 1900 (being the later Ribeyrolles design), so there is every chance this may be the earliest of the marque to survive, though additional research would be required to prove this factually.
