History
Introduced in March 1959 to address persistent reliability criticisms of the two-stroke engines, the B95 and B105 used Royal Enfield 692 cc four-stroke parallel-twin motorcycle engines producing 40 bhp and 50 bhp respectively. Both retained the established glass-fibre monocoque body and front-wheel-drive layout of the Sports. The B105 was capable of exceeding 100 mph, a remarkable figure for a car of its price and dimensions.
Combined production of the B95 and B105 reached approximately 178 units — modest even by Berkeley standards. The model line ended when the company collapsed in December 1960. A handful of four-seater QB95/QB105 variants on the extended Foursome platform were also built, but only around two examples are recorded.
