The brand had no connection with the car the German North and engine company that made cars under a different brand of Lloyd between 1906 and 1914 and between 1950 and 1963.
The pre-war car was really a cyclecar and is powered by a single-cylinder engine, Villiers two-stroke water-cooled 347 cc producing November 5 bhp, located at the rear of the car and the transmission power through a gearbox to three speed rear wheel face only with a string 2 3 frame selected four wheel drive all round independent suspension using springs with transverse blades 2 the car been deliberately simple, there was no electric starter, the fuel tank is mounted above the engine with a gravity feed and the wipers are actuated manually.
It was available in two open spaces and, unusually for a small car, like 3 places closed 2 Production stopped on the outbreak of the Second World War with a claimed 250 fact, with cars exported to the Netherlands, New Zealand and South Africa 1 it was said to be capable of reaching 45 mph 70 km h the car was registered to 80 for the basic version, but there was also a de-luxe with electric starting and lighting 1 to 85.

The frame had again all independent suspension, but now by coil springs mounted in sealed cylinder oil with oil acts as damper springs were horizontal to the vertical front and at the rear the body was made from aluminum the braking system used a Bowden type cable actuated system driving was by rack and pinion, the gear shift lever is mounted horizontally just below the steering wheel.
The car was much simpler than the body before the war, but with a total length of 12 feet 3 inches, open bodywork two- or four-seater, the car was really too big for its engine and the performance was poor with a maximum speed of only 55 mph 85 km h 1 the car was also very expensive to 480 in 1948, when family size cars could be purchased for 300 5 600 cars were produced and some were exported to Australia, Belgium, Denmark, India and the United States 5.
