The Davrian Developments Ltd. was a British automobile manufacturer. The head office was from 1967 to 1976 in Clapham, London , then in Tregaron in the county of Ceredigion in Wales and from 1980 to 1983 in Lampeter , also in Ceredigion.

vehicles

The company manufactured competition vehicles based on small cars.

In 1968 the Davrian Standard was introduced. The car was based on the Hillman Imp , whose four-cylinder in-line engine with 875 cc he also had. This made 51 hp (38 kW) at 6,100 min -1 .

In 1969 the Davrian Sport was added, the four-cylinder engine with a displacement of 998 cm³. It was also based on the Hillman Imp, but, unlike the standard, was designed for track racing.

The cars were more like racing cars for private drivers, but were also street legal. In addition to the engines based on the Hillman Imp, almost every Rootes or Ford engine could be installed at the customer's request .
