Robinson & Price
The Robinson & Price Ltd. was a British automobile and motorcycle manufacturer based in Liverpool, Lancashire .
description
In 1902 motorcycle production began. Two car models were built from 1905 to 1906. The 6½ hp had a single-cylinder engine , the 10/12 hp had a two-cylinder engine . The success of these vehicles was low and only small numbers were produced.
In 1913 the company tried again on a single-cylinder model, the 6/8 hp . Although this cycle car was more accepted by the market than the vehicles previously built, the First World War put an end to production in 1914.
A surviving motorcycle from 1903 is in the National Motorcycle Museum in Solihull .
