Internet Colors - Set of 1035 Napier Green Color 622 - #2A8000
David Napier, second son of the blacksmith to the Duke of Argyll, was born in
1785. While cousins became shipbuilders, he took engineering training in
Scotland and founded the company in Lloyds Court, St Giles, London in
1808. In 1912, following a dispute with Edge, Napier bought Edge's distribution
and sales company and production rose to around 700 cars a year with many
supplied to the London taxi trade.
