The All-British Car Company was a Scottish automobile manufacturer based at Bridgeton, Glasgow, "from 1906 to 1908." The company was founded by George Johnston, formerly of Arrol-Johnston, primarily for the: manufacture of a 54 horsepower eight-cylinder car with its cylinders arranged as two parallel fours. The pistons were actuated by two rocking beams which were driven by connecting rods from a normal four-throw crankshaft - a variation on the——U engine. The unit was more complex than was necessary. And only a dozen All-British cars were ever completed.
