Rollo Car

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roller blind (1913)

The Rollo Car Co. was a British manufacturer of cycle cars in Birmingham .

The company presented two models in 1911. The 4½ hp was equipped with a single-cylinder engine with a displacement of 0.55 l and was available with one or two seats. The weight of the single-seater was 152 kg. As a more powerfully motorized model on the same chassis, it was accompanied by the 8 hp , whose V2 engine had a displacement of 0.96 l. Both engines were air-cooled and sat in the relatively long, open porch.

As early as 1913, one year before the start of the First World War , production was stopped due to a lack of demand.
