Invicta
Noel Macklin started building cars of exceptional durability at his home from the mid 1920's, The Invicta, initially with 2 .5 litre Meadows engine had the the 3 litre engine by 1926 . By 1929 came the well known 4 1/2 litre which was in production until 1936. Many would say the S type ranks as one of the best looking sports cars built in the Vintage tradition. Needless to say these were expensive high performance cars, so the company decided to make a small 1.5 litre car in 1932 to survive the depression. In 1938. From the mid thirties things tapered off, and although there was talk of a range of cars on new independent front suspension, nothing seems to have come of it. Post war a handful of the 3 litre "Black Prince" were made before it was over. Local company AFN Ltd bought the assets of the company but did not carry anything on.
