Bow-V-Car

The Bow-V-Car was an English cyclecar manufactured from 1922 to 1923 by the Plycar Company of Upper Norwood, London. The car was designed by Charles Beauvais who was later better known as a stylist working for coachbuilders Avon Coachworks.

It had an integral chassis/body made largely of plywood, and used a rear mounted, air cooled, 10hp vee-twin Precision engine with three speed and reverse gearbox. Final drive to the rear axle was by chain.

With two seat open body the car was advertised at £165. Very few were made.
