Thor (make of car)
Thor was a British automobile brand that was bought by Simpson Taylor Ltd. from 1919–1923 . was made in London SW1. The mid-range cars were based on a US design.
There was only one model, the 15 hp with a four-cylinder in-line engine with a displacement of 2.3 l. The solid car had a wheelbase of 2896 mm and a track width of 1422 mm.
In the period after the First World War , small, fuel-efficient cars were more in demand and so the Thor did not sell particularly well. Production was stopped in 1923.
