Light car

The term light car is used in Great Britain since the early part of the 20th century for an automobile less than 1.5 litres engine capacity. In modern car classification this term would be roughly equivalent to a subcompact car. There are numerous light car clubs in Britain and Australia.

Also in 1912, cars in Europe with engines smaller than were classified for motor sport purposes as cyclecars. In October 1913 the British Temple Press, the publisher of various vehicle magazines, launched a magazine called The Light Car and Cyclecar, later shortened to The Light Car. It was on sale every Friday and cost 3d, but it ceased publication many years ago. This magazine covered topics on the range of cars used by the 'average motorist'. ==Examples==
