Description Early pre-production prototype; Alvechurch Team car with period competition history; well-known to the Register; recent full restoration and ready to enjoy Founded in Alvechurch by Ken Delingpole and Ron Lowe, Dellow Motors Ltd produced road-going sports cars for the enthusiast to use in trials, rallies and hill-climbs.
The MkI entered production in 1949 and evolved in stages to the MkV before production finally came to an end in 1956.
The cars typically used a 1,172cc Ford 10 engine in an A-frame chassis with a very light tubular steel framework made from military surplus chrome-moly rocket tubes welded to the chassis.
The bodywork was all aluminium.
Early cars had the Ford beam front axle with transverse spring and short Panhard rod, quarter elliptics at the rear and Andre Hartford friction dampers all round.
The Ford torque-tube was suitably shortened and the vast majority of cars used the 3-speed Ford gearbox and Ford cable/rod operated brake drums.
