Cambro

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cambro was a British car brand. The manufacturer was the Central Aircraft Company Ltd. from Northolt (Middlesex) . Construction time was from 1920 to 1921.

The only model was a very simple, three-wheeled British cycle car with only one seat.

The car was from the newspaper publisher Frederick J. Camm and GA Broomfield - hence the name Cambro designed and was supported by an air-cooled two-cylinder - Boxer - two-stroke engine of Johnson powered with 192 cc engine, whose power has been forwarded to the single rear wheel by a chain. This engine was commonly installed in outboard motors and mopeds . There was no reverse gear, but a freewheel made maneuvering by hand easier. The weight was only 75 kg.

The Cambro cost £ 83. The number of copies made is unknown.
