1922 M type with Princeton 4-door body and disc wheels.
First shown at the 1921 London Motor Show, the car reached the public in 1922.
The new car, designed by Clarence King, had a four-cylinder 2297cc side-valve engine mounted in-unit with a three-speed transmission. The separate chassis had semi-elliptic leaf springs at the front and cantilever springs at the rear. Brakes acted on the rear wheels only with a separate pair of shoes for the handbrake. Disc type wheels were fitted.
The car was said to be capable of reaching nearly 60 mph (100 km/h) and return 28 mpg‑imp (10 L/100 km; 23 mpg‑US).
In 1924 the LM version appeared with a higher compression engine developing 40 bhp (30 kW) and four-speed transmission. Wire-spoked wheels replaced the disc ones. Front-wheel brakes were added in 1926.
In 1924 the 14-40 with Princeton tourer body cost GBP595.
