Granville Bradshaw was a capable and innovative engineer, and, having had some success with his oil-cooled engines - when fitted to motorcycles, succeeded in persuading the old-established Belsize car company to market a well-made light car, featuring an engine of his design. This was in 1921, but, by that date, this Manchester company could look back on over 20 years of solid progress, beginning with close copies of the Benz, which they made and sold as the Marshall from 1899. By 1906, Belsize offered a wide range of models which enhanced their reputation and they ruled briefly as kings of the Manchester motor manufacturing companies.

The Belsize-Bradshaw offered here, wears registration number ‘NO 6544’, the V5C showing the date of first registration as August 1922. It is currently in component form and appears to have been dismantled for the purpose of restoration some time ago. All the components appear to be present and correct at a glance, however, this cannot be confirmed. The ‘parts’ include a body tub and radiator grille with the interior and seemingly most of the body’s accoutrements attached. The hood bows carry the remnants of a fabric roof. Pretty much everything else has been disassembled. An interesting Granville Bradshaw project for the pre-war enthusiast. Offered with Green logbook, Blue V5c and a photograph of the Bradshaw in c.1980.
