Newey

In 1913 the Newey 10 HP was introduced. The light touring car had a side-controlled four - cylinder in - line engine with a displacement of 1.3 liters . The wheelbase was 2743 mm.

In 1915 he was given the Newey 10/18 HP , which had a larger engine with a displacement of 1.5 liters with slightly smaller external dimensions (wheelbase: 2591 mm).

In 1918 it was replaced by the Newey 10/12 HP , also with a 1.5 liter engine, but with the larger wheelbase of the 10 HP. This car was built until production was discontinued in 1921.

In 1919 there was the larger Newey 11/15 HP , the brand's top model. The overhead steering 1.8 liter four-cylinder engine was offered for three years.

In 1920 the last model, the Newey 11.9 HP , appeared again with a side-controlled four-cylinder engine and 1.6 liter displacement. Its wheelbase was again 2591 mm.

In addition, there was the Newey 12/15 HP model after the war, which was powered by a Chapuis-Dornier engine with 1750 cc.

Although most models were offered after the First World War, the production numbers remained low during this time.

Between 1916 and 1919 it was difficult to get engines from France . Gordon Newey imported four-cylinder engines with a displacement of 2.4 liters from the USA , possibly from Continental . These vehicles received two- and four-seater bodies.
