Angus-Sanderson

UNITED KINGDOM

time-calendar.png 1919-1927

Angus-Sanderson were a coachbuilding firm in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne who moved into car production immediately after the end of WW1.
Their car would be mass-produced from proprietary parts, including a 2265cc side-valve 4-cylinder engine from Tylor, gearboxes, axles, steering gear and radiator from Wrigley in Birmingham and frames from Mechins in Glasgow. A distinctive feature of the car was its use of disc wheels with a wavy pattern, supplied by Goodyear.
The bodies were naturally made by Angus-Sanderson themselves, with wood from their own forests. There were three body styles: tourer, open 2-seater and closed 4-seater. Production started in 1919 in Newcastle and that summer moved to a much larger factory in nearby Birtley, suitable for making a projected 20 cars a day. Only 30 to 50 per week were ever built, and part-completed bodies and chassis hung around in the factory for over a year, waiting for the delivery of parts.
After only a couple of years the company was in financial trouble, and moved to London. A new smaller 990cc 8hp car was developed but never got beyond the prototype stage. More reorganisation followed and the company finally closed in 1927, with the final cars being made up from parts at hand. Approximately 3,000 Angus-Sanderson cars were made, of which no more than six survive.
