Achilles (automobile)

The Achilles was an English shaft drive voiturette manufactured by B Thompson & Co. in Frome, Somerset between 1903 and 1908.

[1] A range of cars were advertised, mostly with single-cylinder engines by Aster and De Dion.

Other mechanical parts were also bought in, and it seems likely that only the bodies were originated by Achilles.

[2] This car is notably seen in the French comic book Achille Talon, created by Michel Regnier (known by the pseudonym Greg), for the Pilote redaction.
