The running gear certainly relates to the first photo, although the engine used by Alcyon was either bought from Sima Violet or built to their designs. Whilst the quality of the image is not brilliant, it might be possible to just see the exposed flywheel, The usual authorities suggest that Marcel Violet was still making Sima Violets whilst Alcyon, having given up four cylinder cars, were making something almost identical under licence. One can only speculate what sales figures might have been.
