      As built in Coventry back in the day, and became Humber Cars, who became part of Roots, and then acquired by Chrysler, who then became Peugeot(PSA) who then became Stellantis. From small acorns and rattly old machines empires grow. Humber road is all that's left of Humber in Coventry. 😮

      These early motorcycles look more like auto cycles than motorcycles that I would argue only started to look distinctively like motorcycles in the 30s
