1920 Henry Percy Baughan founded the firm to make cyclecars
1921 The business was moved to Lower Street, Stroud, Gloucestershire.
1921 A light cyclecar was tested. It had a single rear wheel driven by a chain from a three-speed Sturmey-Archer gearbox, powered by an 8hp sv Blackburne V-twin that was set across the frame. The simple bodywork incorporated a dickey seat, for occasional use by a second passenger. It is unlikely that the design got much further than the drawing-board.
Also made motorcycles in 1921 and from 1930 to 1936.
Production was moved to the Lansdown area of Stroud.
There was a gap of nearly a decade during which time Baughan became prominent as a driver in sidecar trials. He later became involved with event organizing.
1929-1936 Baughan's outfits had the sidecar wheel-driven and he started to build machines to order - at the rate of about one per month. He also built solos and his models had engines ranging from 250cc to 500cc, with sv or ohv, and came from Blackburne, Sturmey-Archer or JAP.
1937 Production ended
