Sidney Horstmann (the second "n" was dropped during the Great War due to its Germanic connotations) was from a family of clock-makers. Financial problems in 1921 stopped production of their own engines and in 1925 they built one of the first British cars to use Lockheed hydraulic brakes.

About 1,500 cars were made.
