VEHICLE HISTORYFleetwood Vehicle History Report
The term Fleetwood cars is commonly used to describe a variety of British sports cars produced in a new factory at Fleetwood, Lancashire. This factory had been established in the 1920s by George and Henry Boot, brothers who were born in Liverpool. However, after World War II, Ford's policy of only producing large-scale vehicles in the United States forced the Boot brothers to seek their own premises. In 1949, they moved to a building designed by the noted modernist architect James Stirling at Park Royal, Liverpool, as the Boot Body Company, where production of the Falcon, and its successor, the Mini, continued for many years. In late 1956, just before the launch of the Mini, the Boot brothers built the first factory at Fleetwood, with the intention of building a much more ambitious car. This was the Austin-Healey 100, which was developed using a chassis made by Vauxhall Motors Ltd at Luton, Bedfordshire.
