Briton
GB, 1908 – 1928
(1) Star Cycle Co. Ltd, Wolverhampton, Staffs., 1908 – 1909
(2) British Motor Co. Ltd, Wolverhampton, Staffs., 1909 – 1928
The Briton was successor to the Starling which had been made by the Star Cycle Co. However, a new company, run by Edward Lisle Jr, was formed in 1909 to build this high-quality but low-priced light Briton car. At first, a 10hp twin and 14hp 4-cylinder machine were listed, but the small Briton car was far more successful and well-known. For 1913, it acquired four cylinders and 1750cc but retained its 10hp rating. A two-model policy was pursued after World War 1, but the 9.8hp Briton was the principal offering. It used an ohv 1373cc engine and worm final drive, and a sports version was obtainable.
The larger, more expensive Star car was made by the Star Engineering Company, a separate concern run by Joseph Lisle.
