Car makers in Kent

<< < (3/3)

Jackie Paper:
As a county, Kent probably leans more towards the light engineering side of things, rather than the huge factories of the Midlands.
Still, there have been a few cars that were built here, broadly during three eras of motoring: the very early pioneering days of the Edwardian/WW1 period; the kit-car boom of the 50s-60s; and the replica boom of recent times.

Here's a list of some of them, anyone know more about these or others?
