Cosmos engineering
Cosmos Engineering Company Limited was a British automobile manufacturer based in Fishponds ( Bristol ) from 1919 to 1920 . The designer was Roy Fedden . The brand names were Cosmos and CAR .
The Cosmos 10.5 hp was a small car that was powered by a three-cylinder radial engine with a displacement of 994 cm³. Another source mentions a displacement of 1206 cm³ . The air-cooled unit developed 16 bhp (11.8 kW) at 2000 min -1 . The wheelbase of the car was 2134 mm, its track width was 1295 mm and its weight was 305 kg. Only a few copies were made.
An enlarged version of the 10.5 hp developed in the same year was supposed to be called CAR , but it did not make it into series production.
The following year, Cosmos Engineering was taken over by the Bristol Aircraft Company , which was interested in the radial engine developed by Fedden.
