Malicet et Blin

France, 1897 – 1925

Malicet et Blin (M.A.B.) was a French manufacturer of bicycles, car components, cars and aero engines from 1890 until 1925. Malicet et Blin expanded into the motor industry in 1897 and aero engines in 1914. Malicet et Blin produced both incomplete and entire cars for the UK market which were badged as Marlborough.
Paul Malicet and Eugène Blin founded the Malicet et Blin company in 1890 to manufacture bicycles in the north east Paris suburb of Aubervilliers. By 1897, Malicet et Blin had increased their range to include motor car accessories and components such as chassis and steering gear, where they became one of the leaders in France. By 1903 they produced complete Malicet et Blin cars which were now also badged Malicet et Blin, but production of those Malicet et Blin cars was limited. The car business continued until 1925, supplying components to other car manufacturers under the name MAB.
In 1897 a Malicet et Blin Vis-à-vis was produced, as well a four seater with a 4 cv (horsepower) engine. Later Malicet et Blin cars included 4 CV (horsepower), 6 CV and 8 CV models powered by a single cylinder engine. An 1897 Malicet et Blin 4 hp Vis-à-vis and a 1903 Malicet et Blin Tonneau with a 6 hp De Dion-Bouton engine occasionally perform in the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run in England. Paul Malicet died in October 1923.
