Eclipse [1] (United Kingdom) - AllCarIndex

Eclipse Engineering & Motor Co. was established in Wandsworth, London, around 1901. The company initially focused on manufacturing engines, and its first model featured a vertical twin engine equipped with mechanically-operated inlet valves.

In the early years, Eclipse Engineering announced plans for a new light car, although details about this model were never elaborated upon in subsequent publications. Despite this, the company managed to assemble a limited number of vehicles over the following years. These included models powered by either a 12 horsepower two-cylinder engine or a more powerful 20/24 horsepower four-cylinder engine.

By 1906, a second-hand vehicle from Eclipse, which was described by the makers as being in perfect condition, was offered for sale, indicating the company's brief presence in the automotive market during the early 20th century. The exact duration of Eclipse Engineering & Motor Co.'s operations remains unclear, but it is believed to have ceased production around 1906.
