I've never seen that much written about Darmonts, but I understand in the early years, they did pay royalties to Morgan, but didn't in the later years of production. Also, did you spot the fact the tax regime in France changed in 1924. My guess is that marked the name change of the vehicle, but I really do not know for sure.

There is as much as I've seen anywhere here: Gerhard Keisslings website

Note, the site uses pesky frames so the clicky bit I've given is only of the relevant bit, but if you want to explore the rest of the site, follow the link at the bottom of the page.

The Bedelia is a hoot, and what is more, at least one still exists. Goodness knows what the designer was on when the passenger was placed ahead of the driver. I've seen one at a VSCC Prescott driven by a latter day Monsieur Bedelia where it failed to get up the hill, too much belt slip!
