The Kingsbury Engineering Co. Ltd. was a British automobile manufacturer based in Kingsbury (London) . A lightweight automobile was produced there from 1919 to 1921.

The Kingsbury Junior was a light, open touring car with two seats. It was powered by a side-controlled two-cylinder in-line engine with a displacement of 1.0 l. It was also known as the 8/10 hp . Its wheelbase was 2591 mm.

As early as 1922 the junior and with him the whole brand had disappeared from the market again. The operating facilities were taken over in 1923 by the body shop Vanden Plas (England) , which had been re-established shortly before after a bankruptcy.
