Rare survivor of Smethwicks only car manufacturer., founded in nearby Walall in 1913, before moving to Smethwick were production ceased in 1915
This car was built in 1914, but remained unsold at the start of WW1. It was requisitioned by the Ministry and used in Kent, probably in connection with home defence. It was sold on in 1915 and had several owners in its younger days. In 1921 it was rebuilt in the workshops of AC cars. In 2001 it underwent a total nuts and bolts rebuild. New coach enamel was matched to a sample of the original and returned to the road. The hood and upholstery remain original
