Heightley was an old Lovian vehicle company.
History[]
In 1887 the brothers J. Marion and William Henry Heightley, from Toledo, Ohio came to Lovia and founded the Heightley Bicycle Co. outside Hurbanova, when they and 3 locals hand built fine bikes. In 1900 William built a motorcycle, but that was not developed further. In 1904 they built their first car, a 6 HP model.
Cars[]
The 6 HP version was produced in larger quantities from 1905. In 1908 it was uprated to 12 HP, but the car couldn't handle the increased power and it faced mechanical problems. So a new 12 HP model as introduced in 1909. This car sold until 1914, when a 14 HP tourer was made. In 1920 the new 18 HP model was introduced, as a 2-door open-top roadster or a 4-door tourer. Around 6 roadsters were made into closed coupes by Carrosserie Hulse in 1921. Only 1 survives, and it is located in the Lovian Auto Museum. In 1924 the last Heightley was made.
