Beacon Motors

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Beacon Motors Ltd. was a British automobile manufacturer in Liphook, Surrey . From 1912 two models were produced there.

The Beacon 10 hp was equipped with a V2 engine that had a displacement of 1248 cm³. The open car with a 2286 mm wheelbase was of conventional design, but had a structure made of plaited reeds.

In 1914 the car received a slightly smaller engine with a displacement of 1089 cm³. This made the vehicle a cycle car . In the same year, the less successful vehicle disappeared from the market due to the war.
