CFB Owners Group

The CFB was a British four wheeled cyclecar made between 1920 to 1921 by the CFB Car Syndicate Ltd of Upper Norwood, London. The company name stood for C. F. Beauvais who later went on to build the Bow-V-Car and then joined coachbuilder Avon designing bodies for Standard, Crossley Motors and others. Very few CFBs were made.[1]

The 1078 cc, air cooled, Precision V twin engine with RAC rating of 9hp was coupled to a friction drive which gave a varying drive ratio by moving the driven wheel along a cone. This then used bevel gerars to connect to a countershaft and thence to the rear wheels by a belt.
