Cavendish (United Kingdom) - AllCarIndex

Cavendish was a British automobile brand that operated between 1903 and 1905. It was associated with the Sheffield Motor Company, located in Sheffield, Yorkshire. Despite the company's relatively large premises in the city center, they were not equipped for full-scale automobile manufacturing.

The Cavendish brand remains somewhat enigmatic, as there is limited information available about its production and models. At least seven vehicles were registered under the Cavendish name, featuring engines with outputs of 6, 9, and 10 horsepower. Notably, two of the 6 horsepower models utilized engines sourced from the French manufacturer De Dion-Bouton, which was known for its innovative engineering at the time.

The short-lived existence of the Cavendish brand reflects the challenges faced by early automobile manufacturers in the United Kingdom, particularly in terms of production capabilities and market competition.
