Automotive History Online


Welcome to the British Automobile Index

This is a list of but some of the British Automobile Manufactures of the last two centuries, Most of these companies have faded into history. I will work on adding what photos I can as find them and time permits. Alot of these companies only produced one or two cars and a photo of the automobile is none existent, As always if anyone has a photo and want to share in preserving the photographic history of the automobile please send it to us. Full credit will be given to said party.
