Bowser was a British automobile manufacturer that operated briefly from 1922 to 1923. Founded by Edward Bowser in Leeds, Yorkshire, the company produced a limited number of vehicles during its short existence. The Bowser cars were powered by the 102 lec 9hp flat-twin Koh-I-Noor engine, which was manufactured in Glasgow by Hugh Kennedy, who also utilized this engine in his own vehicle, the Rob Roy light car.
The Bowser vehicles featured a three-speed gearbox and shaft drive, and they were designed with a two-seater body. Initially priced at £300, the cost was later reduced to £225 in 1922, reflecting the economic conditions of the time. In addition to automobiles, Bowser also ventured into the production of sidecars in the 1930s, offering two styles: a Super Sports model and a streamlined saloon.
