Bell 24 hp (1906)

Bell Brothers was a British automobile manufacturer based in Ravensthorpe, Yorkshire . 1906–1925 various upper middle-class passenger cars with four-cylinder engines were built there.

The first model, the 8/10 hp , still had an inline two-cylinder engine with 1.3 l displacement. All of the following models were equipped with water-cooled inline four-cylinder engines. Up to the First World War , a wealth of models from 16 hp to 30 hp were created.

After the war, the company was taken over by the CWS in Manchester . The model range was reduced to a 16 hp and a 25 hp. In the mid-1920s, Bell was still producing a truck, but it came onto the market as the CWS. Then the Bell Brothers' activities ceased.
