Arden (United Kingdom) - AllCarIndex

Arden Motor Co. Ltd was a British automobile manufacturer based in Balsall Heath, Coventry, operational from 1912 to 1916. The company specialized in producing light cars, which were notable for their use of various engine configurations. Initially, Arden offered models powered by a 2-cylinder engine, available in either an 8 horsepower air-cooled V-type J.A.P. engine or a 10 horsepower water-cooled vertical-twin Alpha engine.

In 1914, the company expanded its lineup by introducing a 10 horsepower 4-cylinder Alpha engine, which allowed for the addition of a 3-seater doverleaf body to complement the existing 2-seater model. However, following the year 1914, the production of the twin-cylinder models was discontinued. The final model introduced in 1916 featured an 11.9 horsepower four-cylinder engine with a displacement of 704 cc. All Arden vehicles were equipped with 3-speed gearboxes and utilized shaft drive systems.
