Revision as of 07:17, 20 November 2019Panhard 24. 1963–7 (prod. 28,651). 2-door saloon, 2-door coupé, 2-door LWB saloon. F/F, 848 cm³ (F2 OHV). Panhard’s last hurrah, sold only as a two-door as Citroën nixed any possibility of a four-door that could rival something it was developing. Its other cost-imposed limit: sticking with the flat twin, rather than four-cylinder engines that were the norm in this segment. Nevertheless, the engine ingeniously could develop 50 to 60 PS (SAE), and the modern, aerodynamic shape, with fared-in headlights, helped with performance. Good ride, direct steering, but average brakes, despite the presence of discs all round, and poor gearshift. Not successful, held back by price and the unusual specification. C saloon and CT 2 + 2 to begin with, on standard wheelbase, with C deleted after the first year; B and BT long-wheelbase models from 1964, and stripped-down BA (161 built) between 1965 and 1966 only. Production of the 24 ceased on July 20, 1967, and the Panhard marque, which dated back to 1886, was history.
Marque: Panhard
