Barnard (make of car)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Barnard was a British cycle car built by St. Mark's Engineering (A. Ward) on Whitechapel Road in London from 1921 to 1922 .

There were two versions, a touring car and a sports model. Both had an air-cooled four-cylinder in-line engine with a displacement of 1169 cm³, supplied by the US motorcycle manufacturer Henderson . The three-speed gearbox without reverse gear was connected to the engine via a multi-disc oil bath clutch. From there, the engine power was sent to the rear axle via a chain. The engine was started with a kick starter.

The superstructures had a functionless, semi-cylindrical “bull nose” grille and offered space for two people next to each other. The sports model had an exhaust pipe running from front to back on the driver's side and two spare tires mounted on top of each other on the rear.

The touring car was £ 168 and the sports model was £ 188.
