John Polwhele Blatchley (1 July 1913 – 16 February 2008, aged 94) was a London-born car designer known for his work with J Gurney Nutting and Rolls-Royce Limited. Blatchley began his career as designer with J Gurney Nutting & Co Limited in 1935, moving up to Chief Designer before leaving in 1940 to join Rolls-Royce. He served there as a draughtsman (1940–43), a stylist in the car division (1943–55), and chief styling engineer (1955–69). ==Early life and education== Blatchley was born in Hendon. At twelve years of age, Blatchley was diagnosed with rheumatic fever and spent the next three years bedridden. During this time he sketched designs for cars and built models of them. Blatchley failed his entrance examinations to Cambridge University; his parents sent him to the Chelsea School of Engineering and then to the Regent Street Polytechnic.〔〔probably the School of Coachbuilding near Selfridges〕 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「John Polwhele Blatchley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
