Weigel Motors

Weigel (1908)

The Weigel Motors Ltd. was a British automobile manufacturer who was based in Coswell Road in London from 1907 to 1910 . The founder was DM Weigel , a colorful figure in the early British automotive industry.

Four different luxury- class models were created in just four years of production . The huge cars were equipped with engines up to 11.2 liters, but were only made in small numbers.

In addition to the series models, there were a number of racing cars that were manufactured as one-offs and never achieved any racing successes worth mentioning. At least one of them, built in 1907, is one of the earliest automobiles with rows - eight-cylinder engine .
