Cambro Cyclecar

The Cambro was a very basic single-seat three-wheeled cyclecar built in 1920 and 1921 by the Central Aircraft Company of London, a firm that had been formed in 1916 as a subsidiary of the woodworking company R. Cattle. It was patented by G. A. Bloomfield and F. J. Camm.

The Cambro had two front wheels and one rear wheel, a skeletal frame and body, and a seat for one. Its power came from an American air-cooled Johnson two-stroke flat-twin motorwheel mounted over the rear wheel and driving it by chain. The car was single-speed and had no reverse gear. It was advertised at the 1920 Motorcycle Show as the cheapest three-wheeler available, at 79 guineas, and weighed only 165 lb. Unsurprisingly, it never became a strong seller.
