The Rytecraft car was a curious little vehicle that had its origin in a fairground ‘dodgem’ car, and to the end of its days never entirely lost the appearance of one. The first road-going Rytecraft cars were powered by a 98cc Villiers Midget engine giving a maximum speed of 15mph. These Rytecraft cars were single-seaters, with one speed, no springs and an automatic centrifugal clutch.
Design of the Rytecraft car was gradually improved, and by 1940 a 250cc Villiers engine was being used, and amenities included a 3-speed and reverse gearbox, a two-seater body and full electric lighting. Some Rytecraft cars were built with the styling of Vauxhalls or Chrysler Airflows, for publicity purposes, and commercial versions (Scootatruck) were also made. The price of the Rytecraft car was at first £70, increased to £80 for the later models Rytecraft cars; this was surely the best £10 worth ever known in car prices. Although production of Rytecraft cars ceased in 1940, a few Rytecraft cars were assembled after World War 2.
