Priced at 195 GBP, on face value it offered a lot for the money (a 9hp version with tonneau body is priced at 270 GBP). The buyer of the less expensive car could choose from either 6.5hp De Dion or Aster engine, which would be coupled to a three speed (plus reverse) gearbox.

It was available to buy from the English Motor Car Company, 3 Hanover Court, Hanover Square, in London.
