Designed by J. S. Critchley, the 22 hp was Crossley's first car and was
announced in 1904 and first shown at the London Motor Show in February
of that year. It was sometimes referred to as the 20-28. Early chassis
are believed to have been imported from Belgium. The number made is not
known.
Before 1919 chassis numbers were not segregated by model type and are
in the range up to 2445. The last of these cars are thought to have been
made in 1908.
No examples of the 22hp survive.

many.
