Badminton Motors Ltd was a British automobile manufacturer based in Willesden, London, that operated between 1907 and 1908. The company produced vehicles under the Badminton brand, with its first chassis being manufactured in France. The design team included a notable figure named M. Teste, who was reputed to be a well-known racing driver, possibly linked to the Teste et Moret company.
The cars were assembled at the Willesden factory, which had previously served as the British Fiat agency. However, it remains unclear whether the factory produced complete vehicles or merely assembled components. Badminton Motors offered two models featuring four-cylinder engines: a 14/20 horsepower engine with a displacement of 2.8 liters and a 20 horsepower engine with a displacement of 3.4 liters. Notably, at least two Badminton vehicles were reported to have been sold to China during the company's brief existence.
