Fairthorpe Cars : ウィキペディア英語版 | Fairthorpe Cars
Fairthorpe cars were made in Chalfont St Peter, Buckinghamshire, England between 1954 and 1976. Fairthorpe Ltd was founded by Air Vice Marshal Donald Bennett. The first cars were lightweight models powered by motorcycle engines and with glass-fibre bodies, the Atom and Atomota. In 1956 a new larger car, the open 2-seat Electron appeared using a Coventry Climax engine. A reduced price version using a Triumph engine followed in 1957 and was the mainstay of production until 1973 with about 700 being built. There was also a closed version called the Electrina but only about 20 were produced. The cars were available fully assembled or in kit form. Production peaked at about 20 cars a month. ==Zeta== The Zeta was introduced in 1959, powered by a modified six-cylinder Ford Zephyr engine of 2553 cc. It was offered in a choice of three stages of tune, with up to six carburettors and a BRM cylinder head, priced at £1,198, £1,281 and £1,407 respectively; the basic kit was available for £740. A new version, the Rockette, was introduced in 1962. Sporting a slightly modified glass-fibre body shell and using a Triumph Vitesse 1600 cc engine it was priced at £997, or £625 in kit form. In 1961 the company moved to Gerrards Cross, and in 1964 to Denham, both in Buckinghamshire.
