Pages of British car producers who made small runs of cars, often as makers of kits for building at home. During the 1950s heavy Purchase Tax on new cars provided an incentive to provide cars in kit form which could be built at home, sometimes with parts cannibalised from used cars. Many of these employed simple steel tube chassis and a fibreglass body. But by the 1960s the Tax incentive was reduced and car buyers wanted better quality, so these small manufacturers went out of business.
