Summary

[edit]
Description

Marendaz served as an apprentice before the First World War, he trained as a pilot and served in France during the War. After the War, he joined Alvis, then started up a company called Marseal making gearboxes for the Esmote car. He used surplus gearboxes and Coventry-Simplex engines to make complete cars. In 1926 he formed DMK Marendaz Ltd and built cars with attractive-looking with a Bentley-like radiator and mainly used Anzani engines. Model names were often confusingly complex with the 11/55, 14/55 and 14/125 also being called the ​1 1⁄2-litre. In 1932 the company was re-organised as Marendaz Special Cars Ltd. The cars at first used American Continental engines with Marendaz cylinder heads and manifolding but later were probably completely built by Marendaz as he redesigned the block. Production ceased in 1936 Marendaz Special engine; 1991cc overhead inlet side exhaust valve 6-cylinder Coventry Climax engine.
