Horstman 1496 cc

The Horstman was one of the really popular cars of the early 'twenties, and had a great reputation for good work­manship and reliability. Although very few actual sports cars were built, those that were sold performed extremely well. From the earliest days the Horstman sponsors were interested in track- racing, and W. D. Hawkes' single-seater was one of the few cars that could meet, and often beat, the speedy Hillmans and A.C.s.
