Edward A Tamplin ran the Railway Garage in Middlesex and was an agent for the Carden cyclecar and in 1919, after contracting to take the entire output, purchased the rights to manufacture it.
The car was powered by a 980 cc JAP V-twin, air-cooled engine mounted on the side of the body and coupled by chain drive to a Sturmey-Archer three-speed-and-reverse gearbox and then by an exposed belt to the rear wheels.
The clutch pedal, when fully depressed operated the brakes.
