The Invicta 3 Litre was a British sports car produced by the Invicta Car Company between 1924 and 1934. Powered by a 3-liter six-cylinder engine, typically sourced from the manufacturer Meadows, the car produced around 80 to 90 horsepower, providing strong performance for the era. The engine’s reliability and torque made it a popular choice for long-distance touring and competitive events.

The car was available in various body styles, including open two-seaters and tourers, often custom-bodied by renowned coachbuilders. The low-slung chassis design, combined with the robust engine, gave the 3 Litre excellent handling and stability, which made it competitive in racing and endurance trials. It gained a reputation for durability and ruggedness, famously completing challenging events like the Monte Carlo Rally and Brooklands endurance tests.

Today, the Invicta 3 Litre is highly regarded by collectors and enthusiasts for its engineering quality, performance, and the elegance of its coachwork. Few were produced, making it a rare and sought-after classic.
