Pretty Car... - Hugh Barnes - 03-04-2025
Well, I think so. Perhaps not to everyone's taste....

Well I like it.

Not to my taste but I can appreciate it, very nice lines indeed. I also happen to think it's a fair price...

I think it's fantastic, but then I do live in the tropical Colonies so it could get used all year round
Aye

Interesting range of images, which is a polite way of saying, no pictures under the bonnet, suspension, rear axle under the boot lid, etc. On a disused airfield in Northants otherwise totally deserted. Hmmm....

According to the publicity leaflet the Hamblin aluminium body was available for £109.75, more than twice the price of the Hamblin Cadet fibreglass shell. The body was delivered in returnable crates, and had to be assembled by the customer. It consisted of nineteen panels in 18 gauge aluminium, two sub-frames and a front mounting. The panels had flanged edges, drilled and ready to be bolted together. “Assembly should take no more than an evening.” Getting doors to hang and close properly might take a little longer.
It is thought that about twelve kits were made. Some of them, like many Airfix kits, did not get put together.
S E Hamblin Ltd were to be found in Priestlands Lane, Sherborne, Dorset
