The Cambro was a very basic British three wheeled, single seat cyclecar made in 1920 and 1921 by the Central Aircraft Company of Northolt, Middlesex.

The car was designed by magazine editor F.J. Camm and G.A. Broomfield and powered by a Johnson 192 cc, flat twin, two stroke, air cooled driving the single rear wheel by a chain. The engine was more commonly found in outboard motors and mopeds. There was no reverse but a free wheel mechanism was fitted to help manoeuvring the machine by hand.

It cost GBP83. The number made is not known. cite book |last=Georgano |first=N. |authorlink= |coauthors= |title=Beaulieu Encyclopedia of the Automobile |year=2000 |publisher=HMSO |location=London |id=ISBN 1-57958-293-1]
