The story
Colonel Harley Tarrant built his first car in 1901. After a small number of motor vehicles were built, it became apparent that it was uneconomic to build indigenous vehicles, in the face of overseas technology. Tarrant assumed the responsibility for distribution of Ford automobiles in Victoria in 1908, and production of Tarrants ceased.
The Tarrant automobile was a 2 cylinder vehicle and contained only 2 seats; the driver and the passenger.
About 16 cars were built between 1900 and 1907.
