WINCO (G.B.) 1913-1914
Stringer & Co,
Sheffield, Yorkshire
The Winco light car
was designed by G Bullock, a former LGOC (London
General Omnibus Corporation) draughtsman, and used a 9hp 2-cylinder
engine of the company’s own manufacture and a shaft drive. A streamlined version was raced at Brooklands in 1913 and
1914.
STRINGER-WINCO (G.B.) 1921-1932
Stringer & Co,
Sheffield, Yorkshire
The successor to the
pre-war Winco, the Stringer-Winco, was a light car powered by a 4-cylinder
1,088cc Alpha Engine. In 1922 it was succeeded by the Stringer Type S or
Stringer-Smith. This had an 11.9hp 1,794cc Meadows Engine. Smaller cars with 9hp
and 11.9hp Alpha engines were listed until 1932 but it is unlikely that any were
sold as late as this, and throughout the 1920s production must have been very
small.
