It was, at £60, almost certainly the cheapest car on the British market at the time.[1] The car had a single front wheel and no suspension, relying on the tyres and the flexibility of its ash frame to absorb road bumps. The two seater body was very simple with no windscreen or weather protection. The bodywork was minimal. The 165 cc, air-cooled, flat twin two-stroke engine drove the right-hand rear wheel by chain, and a variable-speed friction drive transmission was used, giving two forwards speeds and reverse. A top speed of 30 mph was claimed.[2] A motorcycle using the same engine, also with friction drive, was also offered for £28 10 shillings. See also
