Clarence was a British automobile brand established in 1919 by C.W. Harrison in Northwich, Cheshire. The brand emerged shortly after the end of World War I, during a period of renewed interest in motor vehicle production.
The Clarence was notable for its unique design as a three-wheeled vehicle, equipped with a 10 horsepower four-cylinder engine. Its transmission system utilized friction discs, and it featured a chain-driven final drive to a single rear wheel. The introduction of the Clarence was accompanied by illustrations and a photograph of a half-scale model, suggesting that a full-size version may not have been fully completed at the time of its announcement.
Despite its innovative features, the Clarence brand did not achieve significant commercial success and remains a lesser-known name in the history of British motoring.
