This was due to the very conservative nature of the company, both in terms of technical development and styling. Only one sporting model was offered β the Sport Touring, with the majority of Wintons featuring tourer, sedan, limousine and town car styling.<ref>{{cite web |last=Spajic |first=Igor |title=Vintage Cars of 'The Great Gatsby' β Winton Six |url=http://www.vintagecarheritage.com/vintage-cars-of-the-great-gatsby-winton-six/ |work=vintagecarheritage.com |access-date=25 February 2014}}</ref> The Winton Motor Carriage Company ceased automobile production on February 11, 1924. ::'''Models (1922)'''<ref name="Kimes 1996"/> ::{|class="wikitable" |- !
