was founded at Brooklands in 1910, moving to nearby Hersham, Walton on Thames in 1914. When aircraft production slumped after WW1 this bike was desined by Granville Bradshaw and built at the Sopwith Aircraft factory, in Kingston on Thames The design was sound but expensive to produce, meaning Sopwith lost money on each one.

ABC also produced light cars between 1920-29, featuring a 1203cc flat twin air cooled engine also desiigned by Granville Bradshaw. In its earliest years the company was part of the Harper Bean combine. Like the motorcycle, the cars were not cheap, selling for £ 414 in 1920. Engines became more refined over the years and in 1925 a twin carburettor engine was developed and became the only engine offered. An oddity about the the ABC was that the radiator cap was actually the petrol tank filler.
