1912 Production continued with the same Fafnir engine for that year - their last.
4 h.p. two-speed Unecar, the steering of which is sprung.
W.W. Bannister and Co., King Street. Maidstone.
Two Unecar models are shown on this stand. One is of the de luxe type, well finished, and fitted with a coach-built body. Druid spring forks are provided, and a drip lubricator, in addition to the usual hand pump. The ignition is by magneto only. The gear, it will be remembered, is of the epicyclic type, contained in an extension of the crank case. Both models are now fitted with the B. and B. carburetter, and the variable inlet control has been abandoned. Two self-locking brakes are fitted, one acting on each of the rear wheels. The standard model is fitted with a basket seat, accumulator ignition, and rigid forks. Otherwise, it closely resembles the de luxe type. Except in the above details, the machine has not been altered since we last described it.
