EWM (United Kingdom) - AllCarIndex

E.W.M. was a British manufacturer of kit cars that operated briefly during the mid-1980s. Founded by Edward Waddington, the company was based in Salisbury, Wiltshire, and aimed to compete in the budget kit roadster market, which was dominated by the Dutton brand.

The company produced two main models: the Buccaneer and the Brigand. The Buccaneer featured a traditional boxy design, while the Brigand adopted a sportier appearance, characterized by its droop-snoot front and rear spoiler. Both models utilized mechanical components from the Ford Cortina, which provided a reliable foundation for their performance.

Despite the initial promise, E.W.M. faced challenges that led to its short-lived production run, which lasted from 1984 to 1985. An attempt to revive the brand in 1988 under the names B.S. Roadster and Sprint also proved unsuccessful, marking the end of E.W.M.'s presence in the kit car market.
