Beeston / Model record
Beeston3½ HP Light Car
Production1899–1900
Recorded originUnited Kingdom
ClassSmall open light car
Beeston Motor Company's final and only documented conventional small automobile, following its tricycle and quadricycle products. The descriptive model name reflects the sole surviving factory specification—3½ hp and under-seat engine placement—because no dependable type designation, body menu, dimensions or production total has been recovered.
