Founded in 1946 by Ken Delingpole and Ron Lowe, the company that bore a partial amalgam of their surnames began life as a competition car preparation specialist with a sideline as agents to both Wade-Ventor superchargers and the HRG marque. Operating from premises in Alvechurch, near Birmingham, the duo took their first tentative steps as manufacturers in 1947 when they began building replicas of Ron Lowe's famous Austin 7-based trials special, 'The Flipper'.
