Edwards was a British automobile manufacturer founded in 1913 by J. Leslie Edwards in King’s Norton, Worcestershire. The company specialized in producing cyclecars, a category of lightweight vehicles that were popular in the early 20th century.
The Edwards cyclecar was offered in two distinct models: the Touring and the Brooklands. The Touring model featured a conventional design, while the Brooklands variant was characterized by its doorless body and a deeper scuttle, catering to a sportier aesthetic. Both models were equipped with an 8/10 horsepower Precision engine, which utilized friction transmission and a chain drive system that powered one rear wheel.
Despite its innovative designs, the production of Edwards vehicles was relatively short-lived, and the company eventually ceased operations. The legacy of Edwards remains a part of the early automotive history in the United Kingdom, reflecting the era's experimentation with lightweight and economical vehicles.
