The Victor car was a high-wheeler powered by a 2-stroke, single-cylinder water-cooled engine, rated at 12hp and driving through friction transmission. Seven different styles Victor car were offered with either solid rubber or pneumatic tyres.
The Victor cyclecar had a more substantial appearance than most cars of its class. The 2.2-litre, 4-cylinder engine of the Victor car was water-cooled and drove through a 3-speed gearbox and a shaft to the differential. Semi-elliptic springs were used on the Victor car.
This two-seater Victor cyclecar used a 2-cylinder, 13hp air-cooled De Luxe engine. The Victor car manufacturer was forced to get rid of the last of these Victor cars at $245 each after the cyclecar boom ended.
Victor Motors Ltd had previously been the DEW Engineering Company, makers of the Dew cyclecar, and the Victor car was similar to the later Dews. The Victor car had a 10hp 965cc Precision engine and belt drive. The 4½hp Dew monocarp was apparently not continued under the Victor car name. In 1915 there was an 1.100cc 4-cylinder version Victor car, still belt-driven.
