Provenance directly from the family of Len Pritchard.

Williams & Pritchard created some of Britain`s iconic and spectacular racing car bodies of the 1950s, 60s and 70s, Lotus, Spidgets and Jaguars. Pritchard also designed motorbike frames for racing legends John Surtees OBE and Mike Hailwood.

Both Len Pritchard and Charlie Williams served apprenticeships in specialist coachworks working on cars such as Rolls Royce, and during the war working on Supermarine spitfires. In 1948, they formed a partnership in Enfield and in 1954 they formed a Limited Company sharing premises with the early Lotus company. Working alongside Colin Chapman, they were intimately involved in the design and manufacture of bodywork for Lotus from the VI through to the Elite and several F1 and F2 bodies.
