The Ralph Lucas was an English automobile manufactured by its namesake from 1901 until around 1908. The first model was an odd two-stroke car powered by paraffin; it had a piston and a crankshaft at either end of its one cylinder. A button in the steering wheel controlled the speed of the engine. The coachwork was of pressed steel.
The two-stroke design introduced in 1908 was the origin of the Valveless, which was latter built by David Brown - Ltd. (better known for making Gears & Tractors)
