The first car was the Carette of 1907, a two-seater with a 6hp air-cooled V-twin engine with chain drive to one of the rear wheels. It was still advertised in 1908 but few seem to have been made. A more serious entry into the car market was made in 1913 with an 8hp 1094 cc, water-cooled 4-cylinder model with shaft drive. The engine was of its own manufacture. Some may have had the earlier V-twin engine fitted. After the first world war, in 1921, it was re-released as a 10hp with a 1315 cc engine and three-speed gearbox. The two-seater version cost £350, later falling to £300. A few hundred were produced with the last made in 1922.

There was a proposal to take over manufacture by Gillyard of Bakerend Road, Bradford, Yorkshire, but this did not come about although a prototype may have been made.
