Hi, this is a Cleco....

Cleco (GB) 1936-1940
Cleco electric Industries Ltd, Leicester

"The Cleco firm specialized in light battery-electric vans, but made a small number of electric saloon cars on a 6ft 6in wheelbase."

Paul Jaray in ambush again. Right ! I think it's worth 2 points.
I never found anything else that this picture. Do you have others (without breaking any rules).

I have this only pic, too, but I'm waiting for a big Encyclopedia to be delivered at any time, probably in there....

1936-1940

Cleco Electric Industries Ltd, Leicester.

Founded in 1936, Cleco specialised in battery electric vehicles, mostly factory and platform trucks, although some road-going vehicles of the milk float variety were made. Their car was a tiny saloon on a 78in (1981 mm) wheelbase which had the appearance of a stunted Volkswagen Beetle.  ;D A range of about 55 miles was claimed, but this could only be achieved at an average speed of 15mph (23 km/h). Its price of 375 (pounds) would have bought three Morris Eights, so it is hardly suprising that only six were sold. Cleco continued electric van production up to 1957.
