Euricar was a British automotive manufacturer founded in 1930 by J.V. and E.G. Eurich in Manchester. The company focused on producing a unique three-wheeled vehicle, which featured a rear-mounted 980cc V-twin engine sourced from J.A.P. The vehicle was equipped with a Sturmey Archer gearbox and utilized a chain drive system to power its single rear wheel.
The design of the Euricar included a two-seater body that was notable for its retractable metal hood. Additionally, the vehicle was said to have hydraulic brakes, although the specifics of this braking system were not disclosed to the press. Despite its innovative features, the Euricar likely remained as a single prototype and did not progress to mass production. The company’s brief existence reflects the challenges faced by small manufacturers in the competitive automotive market of the early 20th century.
