Albatros Motors Ltd was a British automobile manufacturer based in Coventry, operational for a brief period from 1923 to 1924. The company specialized in producing conventional light cars, which were powered by Coventry-Climax engines with displacements of either 1247cc or 1368cc. These vehicles featured a 3-speed unit gearbox and utilized shaft drive to a spiral bevel rear axle.
The lineup included both 2-seater and 4-seater body styles, with a notable utility 2-seater variant that was equipped with the smaller engine and notably lacked a differential. Production numbers for Albatros Motors were limited, with estimates suggesting that no more than 12 units were manufactured. Of these, only two known examples have survived to the present day. The brand name "Albatros" is believed to have been derived from Mr. Albert Ross, rather than the large seabird commonly associated with the name.
