Adams & Co. was a British automobile manufacturer from 1903 to 1906.^[1] They operated during the first period of auto manufacturing, now known as the Brass Era. The founder, H. Adams, was a jack manufacturer in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England.^[2]

In 1903, Adams & Co. sold a conversion set that converted a horse-drawn carriage into an engine-driven motorized vehicle (automobile).^[1] The petrol engine was mounted on a swivelling fore-carriage, and steering was achieved through a wheel and a vertical column.

In 1905, Adams produced a light car sold under the name 'One of the Best'. The small vehicle had 2 cylinders and a total output of 9 horsepower.

Adams & Co. was not affiliated with the Adams automobile, as the auto industry in the early 1900s included many people and companies bearing the name "Adams."^[2]

Issues with this article[edit]

Do we need a disambiguation page, because of Adams & Co. (Boston) and Adams (automobile)?
After posting, the existing pages of Adams (1903 automobile) and One of the Best (car) should be nominated for deletion.
After posting, it should be added to the existing page of Brass Era car and the "orphan" tag should be removed here.
