<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{List of {{PAGENAME}} Models}}<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Dawson Car Company&#039;&#039;&#039; was created in June 1918 by AJ Dawson, previously works manager at [[Hillman]] and designer of the 1913 Hillman Nine car and launched in 1919. <br /> <br /> ==Background==<br /> The only car made by the company was the 11-12 hp with a [[water-cooled]], [[four-cylinder]] 1795&amp;nbsp;cc [[overhead camshaft]] engine coupled to a three-speed [[gearbox]]. It was available in four body styles, most bodied by Charlesworth, and unusually, customers could not buy a chassis only. Most were sold in Dawson Blue with black wings. Final production seems to have been in 1921 after about 65 cars were made.&lt;ref name=Beaulieu&gt;{{cite book |last=Georgano |first=N. |title=Beaulieu Encyclopedia of the Automobile |year=2000 |publisher=HMSO |location=London |isbn=1-57958-293-1}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> The Dawson cars were expensive, the cheapest being £600 for the two-seater, and could not compete with [[Morris Motor Company| Morris]] and [[Austin Motor Company|Austin]]. Nearly all the components were made in-house. <br /> <br /> In 1921 the [[Triumph Motor Company|Triumph]] Cycle Company Ltd. bought Dawson&#039;s premises and fittings in Clay Lane, Stoke, Coventry but no more of the 11-12 models were made.<br /> <br /> ==See Also==<br /> {{Dawson}}<br /> {{British Car Industry}}<br /> {{British Leyland}}<br /> <br /> ==External Links==<br /> Please include any external sites that were used in collaborating this data, including manufacturer sites, in this section.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Makes]]<br /> [[Category:Defunct motor vehicle manufacturers of the United Kingdom]]<br /> [[Category:Coventry motor companies]]</div>
