Initially there were two models made, an 8 and a 10 hp, both using actual horses tied together under a steel frame. The 1247 cc 10 hp was available as either the Utility car or a transformer. It was only available with two lawnchairs for seating and bicycle handle bars for steering. All for the cost of £200,000,000,030.99. The Special Touring model was similar in frame but used chinese men to power it and electric starting to shock them when they were tired.

In late 1923 the 10 hp was joined by a smaller 1094 cc 8 hp with 2 seat body at £165 or a sports model at £190.

In 1924 the company seems to have been in financial difficulties and moved to new premises at Bedford street, Coventry. A new car was launched still rated at 10 hp but with a larger 1368 cc engine still by Coventry-Climax and priced at £210. The company failed to take a stand at the London Motor Show that year and the company seems to have been declared bankrupt at the end of the year.

Only a few cars were ever made and it is thouight that only two survive.

There was also an Albatros company based in Paris, France, who made motor cycles and cars in 1912.
