Windsor (British automobile)

Windsor was a British automobile brand, designed and manufactured by James Bartle & Co. Ltd, in Notting Hill (London) between 1924–1927.

[1][2][3][4][5] James Bartle and Co of the Western Iron Works, Notting Hill, London, were founded in 1854 to build coachwork and metal castings.

[4] Cecil Stanley Windsor (1879–1926) joined the company in 1910 and subsequently purchased it to become managing director.

He was educated at the Grocers' Company School in Hackney Downs; served his apprenticeship with The Pick Motor Company, Stamford, Lincolnshire; was foreman of the repair shop at Rock, Thorpe and Chatfield of Tunbridge Wells; managed the automobile branch of Parsons Motor Co in Southampton from 1909; and joined James Bartle & Co in 1910/1911 whence he became both managing director and owner.

[4] The elegant, well-made car was probably too expensive, because after three years and circa 300 produced, it disappeared from the market.
