The car had all the equipment of a "real car" with dynamo lighting, spare wheel and tyre and steel artillery wheels instead of the usual wire or
wooden disc. The wheels were advertised as being fully interchangeable.
In their attempt to create a true car 3-wheeler the the vehicle was extremely heavy, this unfortunately meant that it exceeded the weight limit to
make it qualify for a lower tax. It was also the most expensive 3-wheeler being priced at £295 and so any advantages a buyer may have gained in buying a 3-wheeler they lost in extra fuel consumption, no tax
reduction and purchase price. The transmission on these cars did cause serious setbacks for the company which later when combined with other problems ceased manufacturing after only 350 vehicles were produced.
In 1922 the company introduced a 4-wheeler called the Castle Four.
