The Black Prince was a British 4 wheeled cyclecar made in small numbers in 1920 by Black Prince Motors of Barnard Castle, Durham.
The car was designed by H G Wright and was available with either a single or twin-cylinder Union air-cooled engine rated at 2.75 horse power. Drive was through a two-speed belt system although gear transmission was an option.
Both the open body and the chassis were made of wood. The flexibility of this was used as suspension.
The number made is not known but at least two survive.
