Davrian cars were built by Davrian Developments at 65 North Street, Clapham in London, England, from 1965 to 1976, in Tregaron, Dyfed, Wales from 1976 to 1980 and Lampeter, Dyfed, from 1980 to 1983. Adrian Evans (d. 1992), a structural engineer and the car's designer, built a series of cars called Davrian from 1965, Co-designed by ex-Ferrari engineer and Formula One driver Mike Parkes, the Davrian used a aluminium alloy Hillman Imp engine based on the Coventry Climax. ==Davrian 1965–83== In 1967, the design had settled to a 2-seat glass fibre monocoque coupé, officially called the Davrian Demon or Davrian Imp and series production started with a company being formed called Davrian Developments. The cars were sold in kit form. A variety of power units were offered including Mini (for mid-mounting), Type 1 (for rear-mounting), and Ford Fiesta. The car weighed in at 4 cwt (). Over the years a series of improvements led the cars to go through Marks I to 8. They proved very popular in amateur hands as rally and circuit racing cars. In 1980 the Mk8 was offered as a complete car called the Davrian Dragon. This was mid-engined and used Ford Fiesta components and engine. The company was insufficiently capitalised for this operation, and went into receivership in 1983.〔 This car was subsequently relaunched as the Corry and the earlier more basic versions continued being made in the same premises but under new ownership as the Darrian. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Davrian」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
