Alvechurch / ALC (United Kingdom) - AllCarIndex

The Alvechurch Light Car Company was established in 1911 in Alvechurch, Birmingham, England. The company was a venture by Dunkleys, a manufacturer known for producing prams, who had previously experimented with automobiles since their first coal-gas-powered vehicle in 1896.

The Alvechurch was a cyclecar that featured an air-cooled V-twin engine sourced from Matchless, along with pram wheels and a belt drive system. However, the design proved to be problematic, leading to significant performance issues. As a result, only two units of the Alvechurch were produced before the company faced financial difficulties, which ultimately led to its bankruptcy. Despite this setback, Dunkleys continued its operations in the pram industry, later introducing powered versions of their prams in the early 1920s.
