The Chassis Construction Company of
Wolverhampton began to produce Laurence-Jackson cars in
1919. They were powered by an 8 or 10hp. 'V' twin,
water-cooled J.A.P. engine with a chain drive, and
initially priced at £200, but soon increased to £295.
Only a few cars were built and production ceased after
about a year. The world-wide distributor was Car
Concessionnaires Limited, 72 Regent Street, London, and the
London office was at 58 New Compton Street. |

The car had an M-L magneto, type 'K.V.',
an AMAC single lever carburettor, a variable friction
gear transmission, and a Coventry duplex chain driving
the rear axle. It also had a 4 speed + reverse gearbox,
disc type wheels, which allowed the tyres to be quickly
removed, and a coach-built body with a toolbox at the
rear. |
