Technical details

The Eleven is powered by 1394 cc 4-cylinder overhead cam engine producing 36.7 bhp (27 kW; 37 PS) and produced a top speed of 65.2 mph (104.9 km/h).[1]

The car's transmission was called Fluidrive and featured a Vulcan-Sinclair Fluid coupling[2] and was unusual in featuring independent front suspension.

The standard factory coachwork was a four-door saloon with a 8 ft 4 in (2.54 m) wheelbase, launched at £240, with alternative aerodynamic bodies produced by Airstream of London.

For 1935, a larger 1459 cc 4-cylinder overhead cam engine was available in the Special Sport saloon including features such as a rev counter and clock but lost the Fluidrive for a four-speed manual transmission with synchromesh.[3]

Production of the Eleven ended in 1936.
