The Worthington car was a slightly modified 24/32hp 4-cylinder Léon Bollée sold by the Worthington car company. In 1905 the Worthington car company merged with the Berg Automobile Company, of Cleveland.
Only one Worthington Runabout was built, although development of the Worthington car continued throughout the period shown. The Worthington car was originally powered by an 8hp horizontally-opposed twin engine built in Worthington’s workshop, but this was replaced by an 8/9hp V-twin JAP. The transversely mounted engine of the Worthington car drove by two chains to a countershaft, final drive being by belt. The Worthington car was intended to sell the car at £90, but the Worthington car company became involved in grandiose plans to built aircraft, and in the end nothing was seen of either aircraft or cars.
