Established in 1901, Belsize Motors was based in Clayton, Manchester, England. The company was founded by Marshall & Company and took its name from their Belsize works, where they had built bicycles.
Marshall & Company
Marshall & Company of Clayton Lane, probably Manchester's first automobile manufacturer, built its first car in 1897. In 1906 this changed again to Belsize Motors Ltd. This gained a reputation for being unreliable and was dropped in 1924. It was replaced by a 1250 cc conventional 4-cylinder model, the 10/20 or RM, and a 1696 cc six the 14/30.
