1904 1900s, VULCAN English antique Sedan 885cc petrol jalopy, the oldest surviving Vulcan motorcar in the world making a nostalgic trip back to its hometown;
Brothers Thomas and Joseph Hampson trading as Vulcan Motor Manufacturing and Trading built the first Vulcan car which was a 4 hp ( kW) single-cylinder belt-driven type in 1902. In 1903, this grew to hp ( kW) and the chassis was now “armoured ash”. Twin-cylinder L models followed in 1904 now with steel chassis and in 1905, 2 and then 3 L four-cylinder types appeared and the company moved from Yellow House Lane to Hawesside Street both in Southport. Things kept growing and a van version of the twin came in 1906 along with large L six-cylinder models and a move to even larger premises at Crossens, Southport with a change of company name to Vulcan Motor and Engineering. The six-cylinder model grew to 6 L in 1908. In 1912, a new small car — the 10/12 of L with two-cylinder Aster engine — was added, the first use of a bought in engine.
