There was a car manufacturer "The Bell Motor Company" around 1905. Sponsored by "The Bell Pump Foundry". Does anyone know anything about this marque? I have a little info that I will post soon.

Hi

I have found a little information, but less that I thought I might, in only one of my books, probably what you know all ready. Tell me what you know if you like, and I will see if it is what I have found, and that it is the same Bell company!

If you pm your email, I will scan you what I have, or type it out.

I also have a small picture of one of there motorcars.

Cheers

Dave

Hi Dave, Bell Motor Cars (UK) 1905-26 showed at Agricultural hall and Olympia 1905, 1918 sold to C.W.S. ( co op). It was, Bell Brothers, Clader Ironworks, Ravensthorpe, Yorkshire. In 1911 Dr Boyd drove a Bell for a 1000 miles around england - Daily mail saturday july 22 1911. The co op made cars to order and made a lorry ( one for the truck guys). A flat front flat back truck used by co op for some time. As we like brain teasers can anybody guess who Dr Boyd was?

I am suprised no one has a photo of the truck or even know where one is. Dr Boyd was my great grand father.
