Georges Roy (France) - AllCarIndex

Automobiles Georges Roy was a French automobile manufacturer based in Bordeaux, established in 1906. The company operated primarily in the regional market and remained active until 1929. It was known for producing a range of vehicles, although it never gained significant recognition outside its local area. The brand faced increasing competition from more prominent manufacturers, which ultimately led to its decline.

In its early years, Georges Roy offered a diverse lineup of models, including three distinct vehicles in 1906, each featuring a different number of cylinders. The smallest model was equipped with an 1100cc single-cylinder engine, while the larger offerings included a 2.9-litre twin and a 4.6-litre four-cylinder variant. By 1907, the company expanded its range to include a six-cylinder car with a substantial 10.6-litre capacity. The models continued to evolve, with various engine sizes and configurations available through 1908, including options for chain or shaft drive.

The post-World War I period saw the introduction of more conventional designs, such as the 2940cc four-cylinder model known as the OBD, which featured a fixed cylinder head and a four-speed gearbox. This model was notable for its bull-nose radiator and was produced until 1926. Alongside it, the smaller 1536cc SBD model was manufactured from 1921 to 1929, initially featuring rear-wheel brakes only until 1928. By 1929, Georges Roy ceased production of passenger cars, although light trucks based on the same chassis continued for a short time thereafter.
