William and Larry
Bill Piggott wrote in TRaction that the perspex body was built by
Talbot Designs of Finchley in London and the car was possibly
sent to Belgium after the 1956 London motor show .
Perhaps there were no rust problems but it has been said that
perspex cracking was a major problem .
The search is still on for this car .

They say this body was stolen by some Belgians,they did hide it in a barn,
but the body is so transparent that the can't find it back.
They forgot to put a large red stripe on it.
