Not Watling (you mean British car from late 50s - early 60s?).

I'm sorry for a confusion. It is indeed Speedex Scirocco, but for a point I need a name of its builder.

Jem Marsh?

Well, I give up, only approx. 20 shells were built, and I can account for maybe 4 of them, I have no idea about this though...

This car (Speedex Sirocco) has been built as an individual project car by a man who later established his own company.

Carnut · « **Reply #19 on:** August 24, 2010, 04:07:07 PM »

Carnut, see reply #8.

Yes, I saw that, but was just pointing out that technically it's a re-post as the car has featured before...

A company who also built glassfibre special bodies?

Arunas · « **Reply #21 on:** August 25, 2010, 10:19:49 AM »

The company which still manufactures replicas and original models.

barrett · « **Reply #22 on:** August 26, 2010, 12:34:37 PM »

Is the company named after the man?

Not directly, but it appears the name of the company is combined of this man's name and surname.

Something like NG - Nick Green as an example?
