Barnard [1] (United Kingdom) - AllCarIndex

Barnard was a British automobile manufacturer that operated briefly from 1921 to 1922. Founded by A. Ward in collaboration with the St Mark’s Engineering Company based in London, the brand produced a limited range of vehicles during its short existence.

The Barnard cars were available in both touring and sports models, which were powered by 1169cc air-cooled four-cylinder Henderson motorcycle engines. These engines were likely surplus units from wartime production. The vehicles featured a three-speed gearbox without a reverse option, which transmitted power to a chain-driven rear axle.

A distinctive characteristic of Barnard cars was their dummy bullnose radiator design. The sporting models were particularly noted for their long, straight-through exhaust pipe that extended along the length of the body, contributing to their unique appearance.
