Eagle Motor Manufacturing Company was a British automobile manufacturer that operated from 1912 to 1914. The company was initially established in Shepherd’s Bush, London, before relocating to Barnes, London, in late 1913. During its brief existence, Eagle produced cyclecars, which were small, lightweight vehicles designed for economical operation.
The Eagle cyclecar was available in two distinct models, both equipped with an 8/10 horsepower air-cooled V-twin engine developed by the company itself. The primary difference between the two models lay in their construction; one featured a tubular frame, while the other utilized pressed steel. This design choice reflected the company's efforts to innovate within the constraints of the early automotive market.
In 1914, Eagle expanded its offerings by introducing a light car powered by a 1,130 cc four-cylinder engine. However, the company faced significant challenges and was wound up at the beginning of 1914. Shortly thereafter, a new entity, the Nova Motor Company Ltd, was established in June of the same year. Unfortunately, the timing proved unfavorable for launching a new car manufacturer, and it is believed that no vehicles were produced under the Nova name.
