Finola (Ireland) - AllCarIndex

Finola was an early automobile brand established in 1904 by L.J. O’Higgins in Dublin, Ireland. The company operated under the name Central Automotor Agency and Garage, which suggested that it may not have manufactured the vehicles itself but rather sold them.

The brand is primarily known for a single model advertised in the Irish Motor News in June 1904. This model was a 6 horsepower light car equipped with a genuine De Dion engine. It was available in two configurations: a two-seater priced at £147 and a four-seater at £165.

Little information is available regarding the production and legacy of Finola, and it is speculated that the vehicles may have been produced by Lacoste et Battmann, a manufacturer known for its automotive contributions during that era. The limited documentation and advertisements indicate that Finola was a minor player in the early automotive industry in Ireland.
