A pioneer of the French Automobile industry, Emile Mors began by making air cooled flat twin engined cars but soon progressed to V4 engines. By 1902 most Mors cars were air cooled and chain driven. From 1912 Mors adopted the Knight sleeve valve engine for the 10/12, 14/20, 20/30 and 28/35cv engines. These models remained in production until the onset of WW1. After the war Mors resumed production using sleeve valve only with some of the engines supplied by Minerva.
Andre Citroen had become chairman of Mors in 1908 and had restored the ailing company to profit. In 1925 he bought the company outright closing it down and using the factory for the production of Citroen cars. From then on Mors only produced components, and some cheap electric cars in the post WWII years.
In its early years Emile Mors had seen the benefits of the companies involvement in motor sport, both for technical development and publicity. By the turn of the century their major sporting rival was Panhard. In 1902 Henri Fournier won the prestigious Paris-Berlin race with a 10 litre V4 SV with magneto ignition. The car had a steel chassis and four speed transmission driving the rear wheels via chain drive, and rear wheel braking, Mors added shock absorbers which were a great leap forward given the conditions of the road at the time. Mors ended racing in 1908 with plans to return which were cancelled due to WWI.
