Solved - MJW #064 - Fedden 1.Ex Prototype 1945
« on: October 21, 2010, 12:54:46 PM »
Name, model and year for a point.

This is NOT a repost - the marque has been the subject of a previous puzzle but not this particular car.

No, no Gatsos that match this either. Very much a guess!
I may be eating my hat soon, but is there a Jowett connection?

This is infuriating me! It looks like I should know what it is...
Did the company produce better known cars? or were all their products as obscure as this?

Well Barrett it is pretty obscure as only two prototypes were ever produced.
Refer back to my initial post - it might be helpful?

Could it be the 'other' Kendall?
I've only seen the small 3cyl car but I think they made one other totally different design?

Not Kendall.
This one is the first prototype (the other one has been solved on this site some time ago I believe)

No link to Ferguson - this one was built earlier.
This make has already been solved on AutoPuzzles but I believe the car was the second prototype - just a mock-up/proposal.
This was the first prototype.

Could it be the Fedden 1.EX from 1945?
