Davrian Cars

From Welshpedia

In late 1975, Davrian Cars moved from Clapham to Wales.

For four years production was split between Adrian Evans's house in Llwynygroes and John Dark's garage in Pontyfendigaid where the cars were assembled. Eventually, however, with help from the Development Board for Rural Wales they moved into the Lampeter Industrial Estate.

In its heyday Davrian ran its own works team in modsports racing.

The first Davrians were all supplied in component form, the kits coming either as body shells or rolling chassis less engines. However when Purchase Tax was replaced by VAT, cars were also supplied ready-built. Kits were produced to order to suit the purpose for which they were intended: i.e. versions ranged from ultra-lightweight for racing, to heavyweight for forest stage rallying, with road cars generally falling into the middle category.

In February 1983 Davrian went into receivership.
