Warne (car)


The Warne was a British 4-wheeled cyclecar made from 1913 to 1915 by Pearsall Warne Ltd based in Letchworth, Hertfordshire.
The car had a lightweight two-seat open body with full weather equipment and was powered by a JAP, V twin air-cooled engine of 964 cc with an RAC horsepower rating of 8 hp. The engine size increased to 1070 cc in 1915. Drive was to the rear wheels by belts. The suspension used half elliptic leaf springs all round.
It cost £99. Although air-cooled, the car was given a conventional appearance by fitting a dummy radiator.
In mid 1913 six cars a week were being made.
