McCurd Lorry Manufacturing

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The McCurd Lorry Manufacturing Co. Ltd. was a British commercial vehicle and automobile manufacturer in Hayes (Middlesex) . In addition to extensive commercial vehicle production, a lower middle class passenger car was also built there from 1922 to 1926 .

The McCurd 12/20 hp had a side-controlled four-cylinder in-line engine with a displacement of 1.65 l. The chassis was available with a 2591 mm or 2896 mm wheelbase.

Despite the global economic crisis , the car was able to hold its own on the market, especially because the company's main line of business, commercial vehicle production, generated enough profit. In 1926, however, its construction was abandoned.
