Brough8 HP Monocar
Production1912–1913
Recorded originUnited Kingdom
ClassOpen light car
Power8 hp
Final named light-car program of William Brough's firm, using the proprietary 8 hp V-twin developed alongside the 6 hp motorcycle engine. The period-derived name Monocar is retained, though surviving summaries do not establish whether its layout had three or four wheels, nor preserve body, wheelbase, transmission, final drive, price or customers. It is not the ladies' open-frame 3½ hp motorcycle mentioned in the same 1912 range. Automobile manufacture ended by 1913, while Brough motorcycles continued into the mid-1920s.

How this is measured → This record contains useful sourced evidence, but it does not yet meet the reference-ready standard. Still needed: attributed imagery. Fields we cannot source stay empty rather than guessed.
Research notes
A few Brough automobiles were built through 1913; no Monocar-specific chassis total survives.
