Anglian automobile

English tricar manufactured from 1905 to 1907 based in Beccles1

The Anglian was an English car manufactured in Beccles, Suffolk from 1905 to 1907. The automobiles featured either a 3½ hp single-cylinder De Dion engine or 5 hp "twin coupled" power units. It appears the company mainly made tricars, but a photo of a 1909 four-wheeled Anglian car, the first car to be used by East Suffolk Police, indicates they did not just make tricars.2 It was founded in 1903.1 It ceased to exist in 1912.1 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
