Comery Motors of Vernon Road, Nottingham

- 1923 Comery left Raleigh to go on his own. He produced a variety of lightweights with 269cc Villiers engines, Sturmey-Archer three-speed gearboxes and chain-cum-belt drive. The largest Villiers engine was considered capable of hauling a sidecar, so a complete outfit was included in the range.
- 1925 Details were announced of a a 439cc narrow-angle V two-stroke engine. It was fully detailed, complete with outline drawings, in the specialist press, but it never went into production.
