Dellow

Dellow Mark II (1951–1952)

The Dellow Motors Ltd. was a British automobile manufacturer based in Alvechurch near Birmingham . Sports cars were manufactured there from 1949 to 1959.

The manufacturer obtained its engines exclusively from Ford . In 1949, the first car, the Mark I with a side-steered 1172 cc Ford four-cylinder engine, was presented. With the exception of a prototype with a 1.5-liter Ford Consul engine, all Dellow had this engine installed.

The roadsters were actually intended for off-road competitions, but thanks to their good weather protection they could also be used for everyday use.
