This photograph showcases the last model car built by the esteemed Napier and Son Company, a British automobile manufacturer renowned for its innovative engineering and high-performance vehicles. Dated approximately to 1922, this open-top tourer boasts an extraordinary powertrain - a 40/50 H.P. 6-cylinder Lion aircraft engine. The Lion engine, a testament to Napier and Son's engineering prowess, was initially designed for aerial applications. Its adaptation to automotive use marked a significant milestone in the history of the automobile industry. The sleek and elegant design of this car is reminiscent of the Roaring Twenties, a time when automobiles symbolized freedom, luxury, and progress. The open top and exposed engine were fashionable choices during this era, allowing drivers to bask in the power and exhilaration of their machines. The Napier and Son Company's commitment to pushing the boundaries of automotive technology is evident in this last model car. The Lion engine's impressive power output, combined with its lightweight construction, ensured that this vehicle was not only visually stunning but also a force to be reckoned with on the road. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era when the automobile industry was on the cusp of great innovation and change. The Napier and Son Company's last model car stands as a testament to their dedication to engineering excellence and their significant contribution to the world of transportation.
