The car had a 984 cc Blackburne 8 hp V-Twin engine with a JAP as an alternative. A friction drive transmission was used driving the rear axle via a chain drive.[2] Unusually for the time it had coil spring front suspension but used cantilever leaf springs at the rear.[3]
The air-cooled engine was exposed at the front of the car with no attempt at a dummy radiator. The coachwork was a two-seat open body with an open platform for stowing luggage in the open at the rear. The standard body colour was buff brown.[3] Wire spoked wheels with 650x65 tyres were fitted.
The car sold for £185.[3] The number made is not known.
