Weigel Motors

Weigel Motors Ltd was a British automobile manufacturer from 1907 to 1910 at Coswell Road in London.

The company built the first British cars to participate in Grand Prix Racing when it entered 2 cars in the 1907 French Grand Prix at Dieppe, driven by Gregor Laxen and Pryce Harrison.

Financial difficulties emerged in 1907, as the company was reformed, and moved to a new factory in Olaf Street, Latimer Road, Notting Hill.

For the 1908 French Grand Prix Weigel entered three four-cylinder cars, with engines displacing 12,781cc driven by Harrison, Laxen and Shannon.

At the end of 1911 they moved to West Heath Works, Northfield, Birmingham producing cars with normally-located radiators, before going out of business.
