Larmar

Larmar Minicar (1949) - Built in Ingatestone, Essex by the Larmar Engineering Co Ltd and first introduced in 1946, the single-seater Larmar Minicar was designed primarily for disabled servicemen, for whom the main attraction was its ability to fit through a doorway - the vehicle was only 28½ wide! The Larmar was powered by a BSA 249cc single-cylinder air-cooled motorcycle engine, as fitted to the Birmingham firm's C10 and C11 models, which was mounted behind the driver and drove only one of the two rear wheels. Sliding-pillar front suspension and independent rear suspension made for a relatively comfortable ride, while top speed was a giddy 35mph. More refined than the majority of invalid carriages of the day, the Larmar came with a single headlight, folding convertible hood and a windscreen, and was later made available in improved form with a 350cc engine. Production ceased in 1951.

The starter looked like a standard Lucas unit with a bendix on. The Mk C Bond offered a similar arrangement as an option extra to chopping your front structural bulkhead in half. Bonders, being practical folk, fitted a kick start and saved the cash for more Woodbines in most cases.
