Abbey

Abbey Auto Engineering Co. was established in 1922 in Westminster, London, near the iconic Westminster Abbey, which is likely the source of its name. The company focused on the production of light automobiles, with its most notable model being the Abbey Ten. This vehicle was equipped with a 1498cc four-cylinder Coventry-Simplex engine, featuring a friction disc transmission and chain final drive.

The Abbey Ten was designed as a conventional light car, offered exclusively in a two-seater configuration with a dickey seat. A hood could be erected to provide coverage for the front seats and the dickey. Despite its functional design, the Abbey Ten received mixed reviews regarding its aesthetics, with some critics describing it as unattractive yet effective in fulfilling its intended purpose. Priced at £315, the Abbey Ten was announced in February 1922, but the company did not manage to sustain production beyond that year.
