Zeiller & Fournier was a short-lived French automobile producer. [1] [2] [3]

Car production began in 1920 at premises in Levallois-Perret, and ended in 1924. The cars were designed by racing driver Charles Fournier. [4] There is no connection established between Charles Fournier and the Fournier brothers who established an automobile manufacturing business under the name Établissements Fournier in the same part of north-central Paris.

Less than a year after the outbreak of peace, Zeiller et Fournier took a stand at the 15th Paris Motor Show and exhibited 1 6/8HP car which sat on a 2,330 mm (91.7 in) wheelbase and was powered by a Ballot 4-cylinder engine of 1131cc. [5] The car featured an interesting 5-speed friction transmission and a chain final drive. [4] There was also a smaller car produced with a 904cc 4-cylinder engine from Ruby.
