There were approximately 4000 Lomax made. This is one of about 20 in the United States.

This Lomax is pictured in the latest book by Elvis Payne of http://www.3wheelers.com/ - A-Z of Three Wheelers

It was in the early 1900s that automotive enthusiasts and designers conceived the idea of combining motorcycle construction methods and powerful motorcycle engines to small inexpensive cars that were lightweight. The result was excellent performance. The vehicle was actually a cross between a motorcycle and car and soon became known as a cyclecar. The Lomax is considered a cycle car.

Grill badges were very popular with British and European car collectors. Click here for some history on grill badges and for pictures of our collection of grill badge collection

The Le Patron is very similar to the Lomax. It also uses the Citroen engine. For more info on the Le Patron see the link below.

The mirrors on this Lomax are from a Jaguar SS100. The SS Jaguar 100 is a British 2-seat sports car built between 1936 and 1941 by SS Cars Ltd of Coventry, England. The manufacturer's name 'SS Cars' was used from 1934 to maintain a link to the previous owner, Swallow Sidecar, founded in 1922 by Walmsley and Lyons to build motorcycle sidecars. In March 1945 the S. S. Cars shareholders agreed to change the name to Jaguar Cars Limited (many websites state that the vote on the name change was due to SS being associated with Hitler).
