The sales brochure of the Windsor 10.4hp, manufactured by James Bartle & Co Ltd of Lancaster Road, London, stated that the car was designed to 'meet the demand of the motoring connoisseur'. It was a quality produced motor car, built to a high standard, but sold at a moderate price and economical to run.
This rare example, believed to be one of just three in existence, was purchased by Mr George Milligan in 1996 when he was almost ninety years old. He then set about restoring the Windsor, which he completed in six months, at an enormous cost and to an excellent standard. The car was purchased from the late George E Milligan collection at the 2004 Bonhams Goodwood sale and then displayed in the Brading Museum.
The engine compartment reveals engineering at its best; an overhead valve engine with a four speed gearbox, all finished to an exacting specification.
