About the marque

Founded: 1889 – 1918
Country: United Kingdom

Alldays & Onions united two centuries-old Birmingham engineering businesses in 1889 and diversified from industrial equipment and cycles into motor vehicles. The 1898 Traveller quadricycle preceded series car production, which began with the 7 HP in 1903. A broad range of twin-, four- and six-cylinder cars, vans and commercial chassis followed, alongside rail inspection cars, trolleybus chassis, buses and the General Purpose tractor. Motorcycles used Alldays-Matchless and later Allon identities. In 1918 the road-vehicle interests became Enfield-Allday, while the parent engineering concern continued under later ownership; those successor badges remain separate lineages.
