Taunton Cars Limited was a British automobile manufacturer that operated between 1913 and 1920. The cars were supposed to be built in Belgium , but because of the First World War , there was never any production there. Only a few examples were made in the United Kingdom.

In 1919 the smaller 12/15 hp appeared with a four-cylinder in-line engine with a displacement of 1.85 l. The chassis had a wheelbase of 2896 mm. He was an even smaller model, the 1920 12 hp with obengesteuertem set aside 1.5-liter engine. Its wheelbase was also 2896 mm.

At the end of 1921 the brand disappeared from the market.
