W. F. Milward was the designer of the Charron-Laycock car.
1920 Production had been delayed but was started before the end of the year.
1921 W S Laycock made the chassis for the car which was seen as the Rolls-Royce of small cars. Demand for the car exceeded supply. The manufacturers had been able to make use of the experience of the French builders; it incorporated the best features of English and French design[2]
