The Frisky

Raymond Flower designed Frisky saloon and
coups in 1957. This was a generally good design
which featured a narrow-track pair of wheels at
the back and normally spaced front wheels,
enclosed by a fibreglass body. An open version,
the Frisky Sport, also appeared and all were
powered by a 325cc Villiers twin. The bodies
were built, by the way, in the nearby Guy lorry
factory. The design featured a cheap form of
MacPherson strut suspension but this did not
work out as well as it might have and contributed
to a somewhat notchy ride.
The Family Three appeared in 1959, being a
three-wheeler version but none were big sellers.
A Frisky Sport prototype sports car of striking
appearance might have been good but was not
proceeded with. However, it popped-up in
Australia where it was known as the Ligntburn
Zeta and used the 500cc twin Messerschmitt
Tiger engine.
