|
The Addison was an English car built in Liverpool in 1904-13 by the Addison Motor Company. James Harold Atherton was the sole proprieter and works manager from 1903 until 1918. The 6½ hp (5 kW) two-cylinder engine was controlled by variable-lift inlet valves. It was promoted as "the Mercedes of the tri-car world". The Addison touring car and tri-car were shown and well-received by The Motor at the ninth Liverpool Motor Show. The Addison tri-car won a silver medal at a hill-climbing contest held by the University of Liverpool Motor Club on July 13, 1905. In January 1912, it was reported that the company was so successful that they had to open a separate showroom at 7 Berry Street in Liverpool for their Alldays and Phoenix cars. Another car they sold was the Speedwell. Around 1922, the company expanded to a larger garage. |
