Argon was a British automobile brand established in 1908 by Grannaway Engineering Co., located in Earls Court, London. The company produced a limited number of vehicles, with the Argon being a notable model characterized as a fairly large tourer. It was powered by a 25 horsepower 6-cylinder Coventry-Simplex engine, which was a significant feature for its time.
The Argon was priced at £750, a considerable sum during the early 20th century, which contributed to its limited sales. Prior to the introduction of the Argon, Grannaway Engineering Co. had plans to manufacture a vehicle called the Grannaway in 1905, which may have influenced the development of the Argon model.
