The 1954 Allard Clipper

51 Several websites document this being the one of the first production fiberglass or plastic bodied car in the UK – perhaps Europe. This may make Margaret Woolsey the first woman in the world to be a part of producing a production fiberglass automobile. I may need to research this a bit more but it seems plausible. Margaret believes that Hordern-Richmond was directed to make the bodies because they were the only large scale firm working in fiberglass in the UK at the time. My thanks to Margaret Woolsey for her help with this story. Her story is one of the many wonderful facts that populate the history of the cars our group has come to appreciate world-wide. Thanks Margaret!!! Geoff Hacker Undiscovered Classics You can listen to the full 35-minute audio interview with Margaret Woolsey recorded in December, 2009 via the following link.
