YES! LOCKED for Hiawatha.

Name the builder and what the car was called retrospectively.

1957 Ginetta G1, based on a prewar Wolseley Hornet.
If I understand correctly, the Walklett brothers were involved, with Douglas as mechanical engineer and Ivor as designer.

Yes. The sketch was for the Ivor Walklett special. which was later referred to as the Ginetta G1. I cannot find a photo of the actual car, only this drawing.

Please be so kind and correct the drawers name to Ivor Walklett. He was the youngest of four brothers (Bob, Trevor, Douglas and Ivor) establishing Ginetta cars
