Cheetah

One of many fibreglass-bodied specials based on Ford 10 running gear.

There are effectively two classes of 'special' catered for by the FSOC. The first are the pre-war models mainly built by small coachbuilding companies (including Jensen), based on Ford running gear and chassis.

The second - and more numerous - class, the post war specials, comprises those which were generally produced as kit cars, with aluminium or fibreglass bodywork and often specially-designed tubular chassis. Among the better-known manufacturers are Buckler, Dellow, Ashley, Falcon and Rochdale. At various times, companies like Lotus, Morgan and TVR were also involved in Ford sidevalve-powered specials.
