Calvy Motor Car Co. Ltd. was a British automobile manufacturer that operated from 1983 to 1986 and then again from 1990 to 1992. The company was based in Southend, Essex, during its initial years and later relocated to Warlcy, West Midlands.

Calvy began its operations as an agent for NG Cars, and its first model, the Mitchel, was a direct copy of the NG TC. However, legal challenges prompted the company to redesign the vehicle, resulting in the Mk II, which featured a new ladder chassis in place of the original NG's cruciform type. The Mk II also introduced a squared front end and doors, distinguishing it from its predecessor.

The mechanical components of Calvy vehicles were primarily based on the MGB, a popular British sports car. Additionally, the company offered an option for a Rover V8 engine, enhancing the performance capabilities of its models during its production run.
