Overview
1899 - 1935
The owen was a 'make' with at least six alternative names, listed on and off for 36 years, yet with no press descriptions (after 1902), road tests, advertising or even photographs on which a serious historian can rely.
The most plausible explanation is that E.H. Owen was a fantasist in the Walter Mitty mould, and judging by all the contradicitons in his history and specifications, not a particularly good one.
