Cannon (United Kingdom) - AllCarIndex

Cannon was a British automobile manufacturer founded by M.R.B. Cannon, who operated from Cover Hill in Tonbridge, Kent. The company specialized in the production of trial cars, a niche segment within the automotive market. Between 1953 and 1966, Cannon built approximately 120 vehicles, primarily offering them in kit form for commercial sale.

The cars produced by Cannon typically utilized Ford 10 engines, which were a common choice for small vehicles during that era. Following 1966, the production of Cannon cars shifted to a more bespoke approach, with vehicles made only to special order. This change was prompted by a saturated market and the durability of the cars, which resulted in a reduced demand for new models. Consequently, Cannon manufactured only one or two cars per year after 1967.
