S.C.A.P.

S.C.A.P. (Société de Construction Automobile Parisienne) was a French manufacturer of cars and proprietary engines, existing between 1912 and 1929.

S.C.A.P mainly manufactured small four-cylinder engines, with capacities from 894 cc and up to 3.0 litres. The factory also produced automobiles, particularly two-seater racing cars. The racing models were powered by a 1,100 cc engine with overhead valves equipped with a Cozette compressor, if the customer requested.

The larger models had either a 1,616 cc or a 1,704 cc, four-cylinder engine. In 1929, S.C.A.P unveiled a 2.0 litre, eight-cylinder engine with overhead valves, But this model was the last car made by S.C.A.P. Later on in the year, the company suffered from the great depression and in late 1929 was forced to close its factory for good.
