The engineering was largely conventional with a long stroke side valve 1954 cc, four cylinder engine built in-unit with a four speed gearbox and spiral bevel geared rear axle. Four wheel, cable operated, drum brakes were fitted from the start but unusually a vacuum servo was an option. The handbrake had its own set of shoes on the rear brakes.

The cars were well fitted out and spacious, with a right hand gear change by the driver's door, a feature regarded as up-market at the time. Safety glass was fitted in the windows of the 1928 Safety Saloon.

A range of improvements were introduced in 1928 when the wheelbase was lengthened by 2 in (51 mm). Safety glass was fitted in the windows of the 1928 Safety Saloon and a Segrave 2-door coupé and fabric bodied saloon joined the range.Dipping headlights were a new feature and separate front seats replaced the bench seat previously fitted. There were also changes to the mudguards and running boards.
