Opening Oldham-built coupe shell for the 7 ft 6 in Ford Popular chassis, recognizable by its upright Jaguar C-Type-inspired grille. It shared its basic two-seat body with the Mk 2 but is retained separately because buyers received visibly different front structures. Output cannot be divided reliably between the two versions.

Record depth — Documented
How this is measured → This record contains useful sourced evidence, but it does not yet meet the reference-ready standard. Still needed: attributed imagery. Fields we cannot source stay empty rather than guessed.
Research notes
Approximately eighty Mk 1 and Mk 2 bodies combined were produced; this field carries the documented combined total and is not an Mk 1-only count.
