Is this builder someone who later designed production cars, or did he design GRP body kits?

barrett · « **Reply #32 on:** October 27, 2014, 03:30:46 PM »

He built GRP bodies for a low-volume manufacturer, I don't think they were available as kits but I may be mistaken

Verster de Wit?

Not him either!

I think I'll have to tackle this a different way. maybe I'll guess the car maker and work backwards from there.

You say it was a low-volume maker of GRP-bodied cars, probably ready-built and not in kit form. Did he work for Elva?

barrett · « **Reply #38 on:** November 07, 2014, 12:25:39 PM »

Not Elva, slightly less well known. they mainly built racing cars, some single seaters and some sports-racers, but they could be used as road cars too.

None of those, but you're on the right sort of path
