Solved - MJW #569 - Frank Hamblin design for a small saloon
« on: August 18, 2011, 10:40:32 AM »
This is a mock-up for a small saloon.
I know very little about it and I believe it was not intended for any specific manufacturer.
For one point, who was the designer?

Looks like a '58 Vauxhall Velox/Cresta that's been left out in the rain!
Wonder if it was designed by the same bloke? Wayne Cherry?

It's not a Dragonfly - as far as I know it doesn't have a name.
However you'll be pleased to learn there is a connection with the Dragonfly......

That's the man!
It was one of designs when he wasn't involved with any particular manufacturer.

The Hamblinetta - electric car. Only 1 made. Still sat where pictured 49 years on; in my grandfathers (Frank Hamblin's) workshop

If anyone has any information on this car or Frank Hamblin's designs / work, please let me know. I'll be very interested to hear from you.
