By 1926, the company launched a two-seat, three-wheeled car with the single wheel at the rear as the Coventry Victor Midget. There were many versions including, the Standard, the Sports, the Super Sports, the De-luxe, and the Parcelcar; prices started at £75. The cars used variants of their own horizontally-opposed twin-cylinder engines of 688&nbsp;cc at first, later enlarged to 749&nbsp;cc, 850&nbsp;cc and finally 998&nbsp;cc. These engines included side-valve and overhead valve air cooled versions of the engine (fan assisted), and water cooled versions. Drive was to the rear wheel via a two speed gearbox and chain drive. Early cars had a foot brake operating on the transmission, but later sports model had twin front brakes as well as electric start and reverse gear. There was an update in 1932 with styling by [[C F Beauvais]] and called the Luxury Sports with three-speed gearbox and costing from £110. The previous models remained available. Car production survived until 1938. 

After the Second World War, a prototype codenamed Venus was made with flat-four 747&nbsp;cc engine never reached production.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://3wheelers.com/covvictor.html|title=Coventry Victor|accessdate=2008-11-15}}</ref> There were six reported Venus prototypes all of which were ordered to be destroyed but one still exists at the Coventry Transport Museum.
