Weigel Motors Ltd was a British automobile manufacturer from 1907–1910 at Coswell Road in London. The company built the first British cars to participate in Grand Prix Racing when it entered 2 cars in the 1907 French Grand Prix at Dieppe, driven by Gregor Laxen and Pryce Harrison. These were powered by Straight Eight engines displacing 14,866cc, formed by coupling two 40 hp engines in tandem. Financial difficulties emerged in 1907, as the company was reformed, and moved to a new factory in Olaf Street, Latimer Road, Notting Hill. For the 1908 French Grand Prix Weigel entered three four-cylinder cars, with engines displacing 12,781cc driven by Harrison, Laxen and Shannon. Again, none of the cars finished. The firm's assets were acquired in 1910 by Crowdy Limited, who continued manufacture o

  • Die Weigel Motors Ltd. war ein britischer Automobilhersteller, der 1907–1910 in der Coswell Road in London ansässig war. Gründer war D. M. Weigel, eine schillernde Persönlichkeit in der frühen britischen Automobilindustrie. In nur vier Fertigungsjahren entstanden vier verschiedene Modelle der Oberklasse. Die riesigen Wagen waren mit Motoren bis zu 11,2 l Hubraum ausgestattet, entstanden aber nur in geringer Zahl. Neben den Serienmodellen gab es etliche Rennwagen, die als Einzelstücke gefertigt wurden und nie nennenswerte Rennerfolge erzielten. Mindestens einer davon, gebaut 1907, gehört zu den frühesten Automobilen mit Reihen-Achtzylindermotor. (de)

The firm's assets were acquired in 1910 by Crowdy Limited, who continued manufacture of cars in the Olaf Street works, at first merely continuing the existing 25 hp and 40 hp Weigel designs and later producing a 19 hp four and a 29 hp six with dashboard radiators similar to those on Renault cars of the era. At the end of 1911 they moved to West Heath Works, Northfield, Birmingham producing cars with normally-located radiators, before going out of business. (en)
