History
The Yorkshire Engine Company originally made trams and steam locomotives, but in 1907 began production of automobiles branded 'YEC'. They used Daimler engines, but a legal dispute with the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft ended production in 1908 after approximately 50 vehicles had been built.
Models
Sources describe a 30 HP Mercedes engine model, with front mounted engine and chain-drive to the rear axle; and a model with a 31/55 HP, 8 litre, four-cylinder engine which appeared in 1909.
