:''For other uses and car manufacturers sharing the name - see Marlborough'' The Marlborough was a make of car sold on the British market between 1906 and 1926. For most of its life the cars were made by Malicet et Blin in France, but after World War I they were partially assembled (finished) in London and an increasing number of British parts used. ==History== The first cars were probably supplied completely built by the French company Malicet et Blin, but over time the British content increased such that the final 2 litre car was made completely in England.〔Some sources cast doubt over whether complete cars were ever imported, or whether French components were assembled in a workshop in Notting Hill, London. ()〕 Malicet & Blin were established suppliers to the French automobile industry, including engines, gearboxes and chassis. In 1909 T.B. André, owner of ''Hartford'' Friction disk shock absorbers, took control of the dealership, and introduced a new range of larger cars with engines ranging in size between 2210 cc and 3617 cc.〔 Although the company survived World War 1, they did not introduce a new model until 1922 when they used a British Anzani engine. This model was short-lived and was superseded by a French CIME powered car which continued in production until the company's demise in 1926.〔 By 1924 T.B. Andre put his main sporting efforts into the Marlborough-Thomas which was built at Brooklands in partnership with J. G. Parry-Thomas.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marlborough (Anglo-French car)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
