I did find an ad about serv-wel motor industries LTD. along with a name Veecle Im not sure what the word means though,does that have any bearing on the designer or place of design?

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #39 on:** January 02, 2017, 11:13:58 PM »

Serv-Wel is established as the brand name. Veecle is likely a local typographical error or slang for "vehicle". No connection to the designer name.

Very little online information links Serv-Wel with a Hillman designer.

Puzzle is now UNLOCKED

The only article I could find on this car simply states that the design and construction was "supervised" by Russell Hadeed, son of company founder Ray Hadeed. As for the Hillman designer, I'll take a guess: Tim Fry?

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #41 on:** January 03, 2017, 09:45:07 AM »

If you find an article about this car which mentions Serv-Wel or anyone named Hadeed, it will not contain the name of the designer.

Not Tim Fry. Are there any other famous Hillman designers?

kwgibbs · « **Reply #42 on:** January 03, 2017, 10:12:34 AM »

even though its unlocked I still would like to continue,was there a Hillman designer Peter Ware?

William Towns, but he's more well-known as the designer behind the Rover-BRM turbine car and the angular 1970s-80s Aston Martin Lagonda than for anything he did at Hillman. After leaving AM, he worked on a number of odd projects--including his own Hustler kit car--so I suppose he could have penned this thing as well.

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #44 on:** January 03, 2017, 11:38:43 AM »

Not Peter Ware, not William Towns.

There is a roadster in the lower left corner of that picture.

kwgibbs · « **Reply #45 on:** January 03, 2017, 12:06:44 PM »

any chance of being Timothy Rootes,son of Sir Reginald Rootes?

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #46 on:** January 03, 2017, 12:52:01 PM »

Not Timothy Rootes

kwgibbs · « **Reply #47 on:** January 03, 2017, 02:11:50 PM »

Geoffrey Rootes?

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #48 on:** January 03, 2017, 04:24:11 PM »

The designer was not named Rootes.

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #49 on:** January 05, 2017, 08:29:13 AM »

Up!

Can the Professionals name the designer behind this vehicle?
