Sports

Overview

1900 - 1901

This name was used for at least three models of car which were imported rather than made in England, though the bodies may have been locally built.  The 4-seater Sports Car had a 4 1/2hp single-cylinder engine and chain drive, while the 4-seater Sports American Phaeton had an 8hp flat-twin engine 4-speed gearbox and shaft drive.  The Phaeton used a Gautier-Wehrle trarnsmission and may have been of this make.  A new model for 1901 was the 9hp with vertical twin engine and shaft drive.
