The Marks-Moir car evolved through several iterations between 1921 and 1935. It was initially a collaboration between Dr A.R. Marks and W. Moir who designed an unconventional, chassis-less car to be manufactured in Australia. The original design was built in England in 1922. It was a two-seater that featured a body made of laminated wood. The motor, supplied by Wolsely, was mounted longitudinally behind the front seats. Two chains took the drive to the solid rear axle and differential action occurred within the rear wheel hubs. This increased ground clearance and minimized power loss compared to more orthodox driveline configurations. It was exhibited at Australia House in London for some months before Marks and Moir bought the prototype and some components to Australia.
