Albatros (1922 automobile)

The origin of the name is reputed to be derived from a play on the name of one Albert Ross, who was Manwaring's mentor and boss earlier in his career.

The Utility model had a three-speed gearbox and shaft drive to a rear axle with no differential and rear-wheel brakes only.

The Special Touring model was similar in mechanical specification but did have a differential and electric starting and was available with a variety of bodies including closed saloons or as chassis only.

In 1924 the company appears to have been in financial difficulties and moved to new premises at Bedford Street, Coventry.

There was also an Albatros company based in Paris, France, who made motor cycles and cars in 1912.
