Autovia

Motor vehicle

Autovia was a short lived brand of British cars from Coventry existing from 1935 to 1938 with production starting in January 1937. Created by Riley to target the luxury market, the venture was ambitious and even included setting up a school for chauffeurs. The cars were expensive, however, and it was a market sector already well served by other companies.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
