Paul Jaray in ambush again. Right ! I think it's worth 2 points.
I never found anything else that this picture. Do you have others (without breaking any rules).

1936-1940

Cleco Electric Industries Ltd, Leicester.

Founded in 1936, Cleco specialised in battery electric vehicles, mostly factory and platform trucks, although some road-going vehicles of the milk float variety were made. Their car was a tiny saloon on a 78in (1981 mm) wheelbase which had the appearance of a stunted Volkswagen Beetle.  ;D A range of about 55 miles was claimed, but this could only be achieved at an average speed of 15mph (23 km/h). Its price of 375 (pounds) would have bought three Morris Eights, so it is hardly suprising that only six were sold. Cleco continued electric van production up to 1957.
