Dear all, All I can tell you about Hurtu is that they were a very old firm just like our famous Coventry firms they started with sewing machines then onto bicycles an finally Automobiles. Their fiirst car was a licensed copy of a Benz, possibly about 1897. I have seen a Hurtu car on our London to Brighton car run. Club cyclists in the 50's would often follow the run by bike in the 50's it was a nice day at the seaside. Frank
