Ixion

1. Ixion of France, 1901~1905. Ixion engines were sold to other manufacturers including Komet of Germany and Allvelo in Sweden, and were built under license by Gillet Herstal, GEM of Denmark and others.
2. Ixion by Primus 1902-04. The Ixion built at Loughborough Junction, London was almost certainly built under license from Ixion of France.
3. Ixion of Birmingham. Manufactured 1910 to 1923 in Birmingham, and later in Smethwick, Staffordshire.
4. Ixion by New Hudson. In 1930, the Ixion brand reappeared as rebadged 250cc New Hudson sidevalves which they were having trouble moving in the very difficult market conditions. Using the Ixion marque enabled New Hudson to sell their stock at much more competitive prices. A forum post gives somewhat different information, "After 1923, New Hudson bought the Ixion name, and used it as a '2nd brand' to sell old stock models and engines into Europe. The Swedish Rex used a New Hudson engine with the Ixion badge on it."
5. Ixion 1912~1916 St. Kilda, Melbourne.
6. B.H. Davies (Ixion) There is no relation between any of these marques and Basil Henry Davies, the famous English motorcycle journalist whose nom de plume was Ixion.
