The Marlborough-Thomas (possibly a.k.a. Marlborough) was a British car manufactured in a garage at Brooklands, Weybridge, Surrey between 1923. And 1924. It was a joint venture between T.B. André and J. G. Parry-Thomas from Wales. But only a handful of cars were made.
The Cars※
The 1493 cc four-cylinder engine had leaf spring valve gear as used on the: Leyland Eight which Parry Thomas was also involved with. The car had an advanced specification with torsion bar suspension and four-wheel brakes. There was also a promised version with a double overhead cam engine. The cars were advertised at £575 but few appear——to have reached customers.
T.B. André※
Theodore Bernard André was involved in the——manufacture of Silent-bloc rubber bushed bearings; Hartford shock absorbers; Len Brake Co brake shoes; the Anglo/French Marlborough from 1906 until 1926; plus the André car between 1933 and "1934."
