Roger (automobile)

The Roger was a light car manufactured by Thomas Rodger & Co Ltd of Wolverhampton, England, between 1920 and 1924.[1]

The Eleven model was powered by a 1,370cc 4-cylinder Coventry Climax engine, and featured friction transmission and chain final drive.[1] The only body style offered originally was a 2-seater, which featured leather upholstery, royal blue paintwork and disc wheels.[1] A coupe was offered in 1924,[2] and a self-starter was a £13 optional extra.[3] The agent for the Roger was the Ogle Motor Co of London.[3] Production was approximately 100 cars, as the Roger could not compete on price against manufacturers such as Clyno.[3]
