	'''~~Use~~ the ~~following MAKE TEMPLATE~~ as ~~the foundation for your Wikicars'~~ [[~~List of Manufacturers\|Automobile Make~~]] ~~page:'''~~		The '''Squire Car Manufacturing Company''' was a British auto manufacturer of the 1930s based in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. Founded as Squire Motors Ltd by 21 year old Adrian Squire (1910-1940), formerly of [[Bentley]] and [[MG]], the company renamed as the Squire Car Manufacturing Company produced the Squire car, which epitomised the Grand Prix car turned into road car.

			After [[Frazer-Nash]] temporarily cast aside British [[Anzani]], Squire seized the opportunity to use Anzani's R1 100 bhp 1496 cc twin-cam engine. They were purchased from Anzani with a Squire emblem cast into them. Blown versions were available.

			Very few were made, but it held a reputation for exceptional top speed and braking. Squire designed and built a fine rigid chassis offered in 2 lengths for 2 or 4 seat versions with attractive bodywork by [[Vanden Plas]].

			The car was too expensive even with cheaper bodywork from [[Markham of Reading]], and financial difficulties ended production in 1936. A Vanden Plas two seater cost GBP1220 which was Bugatti money and even the Markham cost GBP995.<ref name=Beaulieu/>

			Two or possibly three more cars were assembled from left over parts by Val Zethrin in 1938 and 1939. There were plans to resume production after the war but the lack of patterns to make the engine made this uneconomical.<ref name=Beaulieu/>

'''Use the following MAKE TEMPLATE as the foundation for your Wikicars' [[List of Manufacturers|Automobile Make]] page:'''

==History==
Then, comes the ''History'' section. Expand on any important events and company occurances in this section.

==Future Models==
Next, comes the ''Future Models'' section. In this section, list any upcoming models or future plans for the company.

==Current Models==
This is where the ''Current Model Line'' for the MAKE is listed. If there were changes made to the current make line-up, mention them here.

* Please be sure to list the CURRENT models for the given MAKE in the "'''Discussion'''" section of the page. A site administrator will then add an ''Infobox'' to the MAKE page with the list of current models.

==Discontinued Models==
Companies undergo new model line-ups and refresh models depending on market trends. Models that have been retired or are no longer in production should be listed here.

==See Also==
