Brand Data

Company Name: Condor Motor Co.

Place: Coventry

Country: United Kingdom

Condor Motor Co. was established in Coventry, United Kingdom, in 1913. The company primarily focused on manufacturing proprietary engines for motorcycles and cyclecars. It produced complete motorcycles from 1907 until 1914, showcasing its capabilities in the early automotive industry.

In 1913, Condor developed a distinctive cyclecar that featured a 4hp air-cooled single-cylinder engine. This engine was uniquely positioned on the offside, halfway down the frame, and it powered a wheel located in the same position on the opposite side. The cyclecar was designed with single wheels at both the front and rear, which were capable of steering. This design bore a resemblance to the Sunbeam-Mabley, albeit with one wheel omitted.

The cyclecar was reportedly built according to the specifications of a customer, and it remains unclear whether Condor produced any additional units of this model. The company's contributions to the motorcycle and cyclecar sectors were notable during its brief operational period.
