Eagle [2]

Eagle was a British cyclecar manufacturer active in London between 1912 and 1914. The company began operations as the Eagle Motor Manufacturing Co. in Shepherd's Bush before relocating to Barnes, where it continued as Eagle Motor Manufacturing Co. Ltd.

The firm produced cyclecars powered by an 8/10hp air-cooled V-twin engine of its own manufacture, driving the rear axle through a shaft to a worm gear. Two variants of this model were offered, differing only in their frame construction: one used a tubular frame while the other featured a pressed steel frame.

Late in 1913 the company moved to the Beverley Works in Barnes, a factory later occupied in the 1920s by the makers of the Beverley-Barnes car. For the 1914 model year, Eagle introduced a light car fitted with a 1130cc four-cylinder engine.

The company was wound up in early 1914. A successor firm, the Nova Motor Co. Ltd, was established in June of that year, but given the difficult timing at the outset of the First World War, no cars are known to have been produced under the Nova name.
