Waverley 16/15 hp (1926)

The Waverley Cars Ltd. was a British automobile manufacturer based in London from 1910 to 1934 .

description

In 1910 the first Waverley appeared, a 9 hp with a V2 engine. In the following year this car was replaced by the 10 hp with inline four-cylinder. A whole series of mid-range cars with different four-cylinder engines were built by 1916 , but never in large numbers.

After the First World War , a sports model reappeared in 1920 that essentially corresponded to the pre-war designs. In the first half of the 1920s, as before the war, a number of mid-range models with different engines followed. The 12 hp offered in 1922 and 1924 even had a slide motor . The 7 hp with a two-cylinder in-line engine followed in 1925 and the only six-cylinder 16/15 hp in 1926 .

None of these models achieved significant production figures. In any case, the 16/15 hp was built until 1928, some examples seem to have been offered until 1934.

In the 1920s, numerous superstructures for Waverley were made at the body construction company Carlton Carriage Company , whose workshops were temporarily located on the Waverley factory premises.

A vehicle is exhibited in the Koller Heldenberg classic car museum in Heldenberg .
