Dellow cars were made in factories at Alvechurch, Birmingham, England between 1949 and 1959.Dellow Motors were founded by Ken Delingpole and Ron Lowe to produce cars for use in motor trials.The first cars used a Ford 10 engine in an A frame chassis with very light simple aluminiium bodywork, early cars had no doors. Allegedly the early chassis frames were made from government surplus rocket launching tubes as used on Hawker Typhoons. Emphasis was on precise handling and good performance. Many sporting awards were won by drivers of Dellow cars in the early 1950s,not only in trials for which they were designed but also in speed events such as hillclimbs and even taking over all honours in the MCC organised Daily Express Nation Rally.
