Richardson (1903 Cyclecar)
''For the later 1920s British Richardson cyclcar made in Sheffield see Richardson (1919 cyclecar).'' The Richardson was a British cyclecar manufactured by J. R. Richardson of Saxilby, Lincolnshire, between 1903 and 1907. Three versions of the car were produced with 6.5 hp single, 12/14 hp twin or 18/20 hp four cylinder engines. The two larger cars had four speed gearboxes and they all had shaft drive. Mr Richardson was also a manager at the French MASS car company and it is possible that the Richardson cars were actually re-badges MASS vehicles.

Richardson (1919 Cyclecar)
''For the pre World war I British Richardson cyclecar made in Lincolnshire see Richardson (1903 cyclecar).'' The Richardson was a British cyclecar manufactured by C. E. Richardson of Finbat Works, Aizlewood Road, Sheffield, between 1919 and 1921. Before World War I Richardsons had made children's toys and scooters and were pioneer makers of model aircraft. During the war they had switched production to munitions. With peace it was decided to branch out into cyclecar manufacture and a car was designed by Albert Clarke, the brother-in-law of Charles Richardson. The car was powered by a V-twin, air-cooled engine with a choice of 980 cc JAP or 1090 cc Precision types. Both power units drove through a friction drive and belt to the rear axle. Later models used a chain drive. Early cars had an acutely sloped dummy radiator, but this changed to a more stylish vertical design in 1921. It is thought that around 500 cars were made before production stopped in 1921. See also * Li ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cyclecar
A cyclecar was a microcar, type of small, lightweight and inexpensive Automobile, car manufactured in Europe and the United States between 1910 and the early 1920s. The purpose of cyclecars was to fill a gap in the market between the motorcycle and the car. A key characteristic was that it could only accommodate two passengers sitting tandem style or passenger behind the driver. The demise of cyclecars was due to larger cars – such as the Citroën Type C 5HP, Citroën Type C, Austin 7 and Morris Cowley – becoming more affordable. Small, inexpensive vehicles reappeared after World War II, and were known as microcars. Characteristics Cyclecars were propelled by engines with a Single-cylinder engine, single cylinder or V-twin engine, V-twin configuration (or occasionally a inline-four engine, four cylinder engine), which were often air-cooled. Sometimes motorcycle engines were used, in which case the motorcycle gearbox was also used. All cyclecars were required to ha ...

Vintage Vehicles
Vintage, in winemaking, is the process of picking grapes and creating the finished product—wine (see Harvest (wine)). A vintage wine is one made from grapes that were all, or primarily, grown and harvested in a single specified year. In certain wines, it can denote quality, as in Port wine, where Port houses make and declare vintage Port in their best years. From this tradition, a common, though not strictly correct, usage applies the term to any wine that is perceived to be particularly old or of a particularly high quality. Most countries allow a vintage wine to include a portion of wine that is not from the year denoted on the label. In Chile and South Africa, the requirement is 75% same-year content for vintage-dated wine. In Australia, New Zealand, and the member states of the European Union, the requirement is 85%. In the United States, the requirement is 85%, unless the wine is designated with an AVA, (e.g., Napa Valley), in which case it is 95%. Technically, the 85% r ...
