Drummond (United Kingdom) - AllCarIndex

Drummond was a British automobile manufacturer that operated from 1907 to 1909. The company was established by D. McKay Drummond, who had previously been involved with the Dumfries Ironworks. The initial impetus for the company came from the success of a car he built for reliability trials, which was equipped with a 20/24 horsepower four-cylinder engine.

Following the positive reception of his trial vehicle, Drummond founded the North British Manufacturing Company in Dumfries to produce cars for commercial sale. The vehicles offered by the company featured either 14/16 or 20/24 horsepower four-cylinder engines, and they were available in both two-seater and four-seater body configurations. The use of shaft drive was a notable feature of these early automobiles.

Despite its brief existence, Drummond contributed to the early automotive landscape in the United Kingdom, focusing on reliability and performance in its vehicle offerings. The company ceased operations in 1909, marking the end of its production run.
