of New Road Garage, Oxford
1900 Limited company incorporated[1], to acquire the business carried on at Abingdon, Berkshire, and at Oxford by J. Coxeter and Sons, and to carry on the business of manufacturers of and dealers in and agents for cycles, motor cars, perambulators, &c. The first directors are J. Coxeter, J. W. Coxeter, and B. B. Coxeter.
1901 October. Produced a motorcycle.[2]
1903 Peerless car produced (in appearance similar to Peerless (American)).
The firm produced a motorcycle with a Minerva 2.5hp engine hung from the downtube, belt drive and typical cycle parts. Although built by Coxeter it was sold as The Abingdon, which would later have clashed with the Abingdon marque, with which it had no connection. It is probable that Coxeter then went on to build machines for others, or continued purely as a retail outlet.
Became J. Coxeter and Co
