Albert (Automobile)

Albert (Automobile)

The Albert was a light car designed by A. O. Lord, creator of the later Loyd-Lord, to cater to the boom in British popular motoring. It was produced from 1920 to 1924 in Vauxhall and later Chiswick, London. It was propelled by a proprietary 4-cylinder, 12 HP, 1.5 litre ohv engine It also featured a 4-speed gearbox, which was somewhat unusual in small cars of the era. Its bodywork was made of aluminium, making it roomy as well as weatherproof, as well as lightening it considerably. Adam Grimaldi and Co were purchased by Gwynne, the producer of their engines, in 1920. The last few vehicles, named the Gwynne-Albert, had a larger 14 hp engine.
