| Description: | Stellite was a short-lived company, with modest production under the shadow of Wolseley. It specialized in cheap cars, which it began making in 1913: 4-cylinder engines with wooden chassis, 2- (then 3-) speed gearbox, cone clutch, magneto ignition, shaft transmission, and removable wheels. They were 2-seaters, with top and windshield, plus acetylene lights. The model illustrated here was introduced in 1913, and stayed in production until 1915. In 1914 it cost £158. It was very like the 1922 Wolseley, which is to be explained by the fact that the two firms co-operated closely together. |
