The Sheppee was an English steam automobile manufactured in York by the Sheppee Motor Company run by Colonel Francis Henry Sheppee, son of Lieutenant-Colonel Francis Faulkener Sheppee. After long service with the army in India, Colonel F.H. Sheppee created the Sheppee Motor Company in Thomas Street, York around 1902. The firm mainly made steam-driven commercial vehicles but in 1912 at least two passenger cars were made with 25 hp engines and flash boilers. In 1913 they announced they had got a site on the Birmingham Road near Worcester where they would build a new factory for production of their 3-ton steam wagons.

  • The Sheppee was an English steam automobile manufactured in York by the Sheppee Motor Company run by Colonel Francis Henry Sheppee, son of Lieutenant-Colonel Francis Faulkener Sheppee. After long service with the army in India, Colonel F.H. Sheppee created the Sheppee Motor Company in Thomas Street, York around 1902. The firm mainly made steam-driven commercial vehicles but in 1912 at least two passenger cars were made with 25 hp engines and flash boilers. In 1913 they announced they had got a site on the Birmingham Road near Worcester where they would build a new factory for production of their 3-ton steam wagons. After WW1 the company moved away from commercial vehicles into production of a motor add-on for bicycles, plus they were involved in innovations in washing machines and conveyor belt systems, and then into automation in the glassware industry. In all these areas they protected their innovative designs with numerous patents, and these reveal a name change for the company circa 1939 to Sheppee Motor and Engineering Co Ltd. (en)
