Queen (English automobile)

The Queen was a British automobile manufactured from 1904 to 1905 by the Queen Motor Company of London. The company produced a light car powered by a single-cylinder engine. The car was noted for its simplicity and low cost, aimed at appealing to a broad market. Production was short-lived, ceasing after only a year due to financial difficulties. The Queen automobile is relatively obscure in automotive history and few examples are known to survive. Its significance lies primarily in its demonstration of the early attempts to produce affordable and accessible motoring for the British public.
