The Albert was one of a crop of worthy, unremarkable light cars that appeared after World War I to cater for the boom in popular motoring. Designed by A.O. Lord, later designer of the Loyd-Lord, and propelled by a proprietary 4-cylinder, 12hp 1½-litre ohv engine, it was a solidly-built machine with the rather unusual feature, in a small car, of a 4-speed gearbox. Most of its appeal lay in its bodywork which, being made of aluminium, was both roomy and weatherproof, and light for its type. Adam Grimaldi & Co were taken over by Gwynne, who had made their engines, in 1920. The last few cars, called the Gwynne-Albert, had a slightly larger 14hp engine.
