Gamage (United Kingdom)

A.W. Gamage Ltd, based in Holborn, London, was primarily known as a department store that engaged in various automotive ventures during the early 20th century. The company was involved in car sales and offered a range of automotive accessories. Its foray into car manufacturing began in 1903, focusing on light vehicles equipped with either De Dion-Bouton or Aster engines. These early models featured single- and two-cylinder configurations, three-speed gearboxes, and shaft drive systems.

In addition to its own vehicles, Gamage also sold cars from established manufacturers such as De Dion-Bouton and Renault during this period. The next model introduced by Gamage appeared in 1914, which was a light car powered by a 1-litre, four-cylinder Chapuis-Domier engine. Notably, this vehicle could be started from the driver's seat using a cable linkage, although the specific manufacturer of this model remains unknown, as Gamage did not operate its own factory.

By 1920, Gamage expanded its offerings to include the German S.B. (Slaby Beringer) single-seater electric cyclecar, further diversifying its automotive portfolio. The company's involvement in the automotive industry spanned from 1903 to 1904 and again from 1914 to 1915, marking a brief but notable chapter in the history of early British motoring.
