Bowen & Co. was a British automobile manufacturer based in London, operational from 1906 to 1908. The company was established by a brass founding firm that had its origins dating back to 1808. Although Bowen & Co. produced vehicles that were contemporaneous with those from Manchester, there was no affiliation between the two manufacturers.
The Bowen automobile featured a 9 horsepower vertical-twin engine, a 3-speed gearbox, and utilized shaft drive technology. The company offered various body styles, including a delivery van, catering to different market needs. The price for a two-seater model was set at £175. All components of the vehicle, including the engine, were manufactured at Bowen & Co.'s Mount Pleasant factory in London.
