• Illustration — Marot-Gardon tricycle (1899) • Illustration — Ph. Marot, Gardon et Cie Voiturette (1899) Initially, three-wheeled tricycles and four-wheelers were produced. In 1899 a small rear Tonneau car appeared with a single-cylinder engine with 3 hp and a three speed gearbox. In 1900 the engine output rose to 4.5 hp. By 1901, the range consisted of a model with a front engine, 6 hp and chain drive, as well as a racing car with a built-in engine from Soncin in the rear, which made 7 hp. A tricycle by Marot-Gardon can be viewed at the Shuttleworth Collection in Biggleswade. Another tricycle is at the Belgrade Automobile Museum. Perhaps the only surviving drivable four-wheel Marot-Gardon lives in Lake Worth Beach (Palm Beach County), Florida and was exhibited at the 2025 Wheels Across the Pond show in Jupiter, Florida. • Illustration — 1899 Marot-Gardon in Jupiter, Florida
