New British

[ChrisW83]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone has/knows anything about this marque? It was a 1920's car made in Stourbridge, W. Mids, but that's about all I can find.

Many thanks,
Chris

According to Georgano, New British cars were built between 1921 & 1923 by Charles Willetts Junr Ltd, Cradley Heath, Staffordshire.
The New British was a light car using a V-twin Blackburne engine which was available in air or water-cooled forms.
Transmission was by friction discs and final drive by chain. The only body style was a two-seater.
