Berliet VIG

The Berliet VIG, also called the 9 HP, was a car made by Berliet in Lyon from 1926. It was approved by the Mines Service on 24 July 1926 and was meant for the lower middle class, unlike its predecessor the Berliet VI, a small car of 1.2 litres. It was shown at the Paris Motor Show in 1926, 1927 and 1928. Production figures are unknown. In October 1926 a new chassis cost 21,950 francs, and a year later the complete car cost between 28,500 and 30,000 francs depending on the body. For tax it was rated at 9 CV and then 10 CV from 1927 because of changes in the tax law, its maximum power is unknown but probably about 25 horsepower, and its wheelbase was 2.80 m, as on the model before it. The Berliet VIL replaced it in 1929.
