Have we tried English Mechanic?
Not really a marque, as it was home-built to drawings published in the English Mechanic magazine, but often treated as such.

Lipscomb
Title: Re: PN #1753
Post by: pnegyesi on April 18, 2023, 01:53:03 PM
and we have a winner

Priced at 195 GBP, on face value it offered a lot for the money (a 9hp version with tonneau body is priced at 270 GBP). The buyer of the less expensive car could choose from either 6.5hp De Dion or Aster engine, which would be coupled to a three speed (plus reverse) gearbox. Clipper Continental tyres, fitted to equal size artillery wheels, were standard fitment, as was braking on two of the wheels. Ignition was provided courtesy of "Carburetta" Electric Ignition, while pedestrians and passengers alike would approve of its "most effective" exhaust silencer. It was available to buy from the English Motor Car Company, 3 Hanover Court, Hanover Square, in London.
