The Larmar could well make a valid claim for being the narrowest car in history. At two feet four inches wide, it was designed to pass through a standard garden gate of two feet six inches.

It was Britain's newest and smallest car when it was introduced in 1946. While it was aimed primarily at the invalid market, the company went out of its way to say that apart from its extra-wide doors, low sill height, and interchangeable controls, there was nothing to indicate that it was an invalid car, and that its large storage compartment, easy hand-starting, and its 15 foot turning circle would be appreciated by women for use as a runabout or a shopping car.

Its mechanical underpinnings were quite sophisticated compared to other vehicles of the type, having four-wheel independent suspension with large coils at the front and torque tubes with quarter elliptic springs at the rear. It was constantly being developed, finally receiving a 350-cubic centimeter twin in 1950.

The parent company is still i operations, though the Larmar car is long gone.

The Larmar Engineering Company Ltd has over 85 years of precision engineering experience as a supplier for the Aerospace, Communications, Electronic and Medical Industries. Operating from our own factory site we offer a fast response to enquiries, quality competitive manufacturing and on time delivery.

All I can find is this (no pic):

After an experience as New York City agents for three makes of unlicensed cars, J.M. Carmer and Charles La Due, together with C. C. Snyder, of New York City, have formed the L.C.S Motor Company, which has taken a factory in Ft. Wayne, Ind.
