DEW Engineering

The DEW Engineering Co. Ltd. was a British automobile manufacturer based in Eynsford (Kent) in 1913 and 1914 . There was a four-wheeled Cyclecar called Dewcar . Harold E. Dew had designed it and built various prototypes since 1910.

The first series models were built in 1913, had only one seat and were powered by a Precision single-cylinder engine that was rated at 4.5 hp. Soon after, there was a two-seater that had a larger two-cylinder in-line engine with either air or water cooling. The single seater was £ 75 and the two-seater was £ 95 (with air cooling) or £ 115 (with water cooling).

Harold Dew left the company in February 1914 and started DU Manufacturing in London, where he built a car called the D Ultra . After Dew left, Victor Motors took over the design of the Dewcar and continued building it under his own name until 1920.
