Vee Gee

The Vee Gee was an early British cyclecar made in 1913 only. It got its name from its maker Vernon Gash who was based in Leeds, Yorkshire.[1]

The car seems to have been better engineered than most cyclecars with a tubular metal frame. The 8 hp V-twin JAP engine was air-cooled and had a conventional 3-speed transmission. This was connected to the worm gear final drive by a transmission shaft.

The open bodywork had a single bench seat that was claimed to be wide enough for three people. The selling price was 110 guineas (£115.50). A promised Sports model was probably never produced. [1]

The number made is not known.
