The company was formed by Roger Blockley who had worked for the
Triumph Car Company.[1] The
car was built on the chassis of a Triumph Herald using an angle iron framework which supported aluminium over
marine ply body tub panels, aluminium bonnet, engine bay sides and 'fuel tank',
with fibreglass wings and doors. The radiator grille was frequently sourced from
an MG Magnette ZA/ZB. From 1975 a version was made to fit
the Triumph Spitfire chassis
and running gear, but only 2 of this variant were ever
produced.
