London Motors

London Motors Ltd., London, Ontario. 1921-1924

The London Six was one of the more successful all-Canadian cars of its time,[1] offering a variety of open and closed models priced from $2600 for the 5-seater touring car to $3700 for the sedan. Designed by William R. Stansell (former Brock Motors founder), who headed the company, the London Six was a heavy car featuring wooden disc wheels and a pointed windshield on the closed models. Its engine was a 6-cylinder Herschell-Spillman generally used for fire apparatus. About 100 were produced; sedans, roadsters, convertibles and Canada's first hardtop convertible. Customers had a choice of selecting a plain, painted or cloth covered finish on the wooden frame built by an Ingersoll casket maker.
