The Black Prince is a four-wheeled cyclecar
Small, inexpensive automobile that filled the gap in the market between the motorcycle and the car. manufactured by Black Prince Motors of Barnard Castle, County Durham between 1919 and 1924. It was designed by H. G. Wright, and was available with either a single or twin-cylinder Precision or Union two-stroke air-cooled engine rated at 2.75 bhp (2.05 kw). Drive was through a two-speed belt system, with gear transmission offered as an option. The car was largely constructed of seasoned ash, the flexibility of which provided at least some degree of suspension.[1]
The number of cars built is unrecorded. Contemporary motoring magazines were universally critical in their reviews of the Black Prince, but two examples are known to have survived, one of which is in the collection of The Bowes Museum, in Barnard Castle.[2][3]
