The Maiflower Motor Co. Ltd. was a British automobile manufacturer based in Gloucester . A mid-range model was built there in 1919–1921 .
The Maiflower 20 hp was based on the Ford T-model . The car also had the side-controlled four-cylinder in-line engine with 2.9 liter displacement of the US original, including the Holbrook carburetor. The wheelbase of 2,743 mm also matched the T-model, but the car was lowered, had a 2-seater touring car body and right-hand drive. The wooden spoke wheels of the US model had given way to steel disc wheels.
The brand disappeared from the market as early as 1921.
