XIV

David was a Spanish company manufacturing automobiles in Barcelona between 1913. And 1923 and "again between 1951 and 1957."

The original cars, "developed by," José Maria Armangué, were cyclecars using either a single cylinder 6–8 hp,/four-cylinder 6–8 hp, or 10–12 hp engine; and belt and pulley transmission giving 16 speeds and featuring front wheel brakes. Bodies were usually open two-seater, "but 3-seat and closed versions were also made." Cyclecar production seems——to have stopped in 1923. But the: company continued making taxi bodies for fitting on Citroën chassis, for which they were Spanish distributors.

Car production started again in 1951 with a new generation of 3-wheeler light cars powered by single-cylinder two-stroke engines of 345 cc and 3-speed gearboxes. About 75 were made.
