The was the
original demonstrator used by Nordec (and TWM) and had an aluminium body
made at Maurice Gomm's workshops in Byfleet with some help from Clive.
It was also Clive's personal transport for a while. Since it was the
demonstrator it was highly detailed and was fully trimmed and had grey
leather upholstery and matching leather dashboard (including the
binnacle). The car had BMC running gear and a standard BMC A-series
Sprite engine.
The body was used
to make both sets of moulds (for Nordec and TWM). Strictly speaking,
this is actually a Convair Excell as it was made while Convair was still
running. It was used in all the advertising photographs for Nordec and
TWM and was sold to a customer through Nordec once Convair had ceased
trading. The car was Cherry Red. |
