Carlton Motor Company was a British automobile manufacturer based in Coventry, active from 1901 to 1902. The company specialized in the production of light cars and offered a limited range of models during its brief existence.
The vehicles produced by Carlton were powered by Aster engines, which included a single-cylinder engine rated at 8 horsepower, a two-cylinder engine producing 12 horsepower, and a four-cylinder engine with a capacity of 24 horsepower. Despite the variety in engine configurations, the company did not achieve long-term success and ceased operations shortly after its inception.
Carlton Motor Company remains a minor footnote in the history of early automotive manufacturing in the United Kingdom, reflecting the competitive and rapidly evolving nature of the industry during the early 20th century.
