Felday (United Kingdom) - AllCarIndex

Felday was a British automotive brand established in 1966 by Friday Engineering Ltd, located in Dorking, Surrey. The company was founded by Peter Westbury, a hillclimb champion, who aimed to produce high-performance vehicles tailored for motorsport.

The Felday 6, introduced in 1966, was notable for its tubular chassis design and was specifically engineered for hillclimbing and Formula Libre racing. Unlike Westbury's previous 4x4 specials, the Felday 6 featured a two-wheel drive system and was powered by a rear-mounted Ford 4.7-litre V8 engine, which transmitted power through a Hewland gearbox. The vehicle's body was constructed from fiberglass, contributing to its lightweight and agile performance.

Although there were plans for a road car variant, Westbury ultimately shifted his focus back to racing and engine preparation, leading to the brand's brief existence, which lasted until 1967. The Felday brand remains a part of the history of British motorsport engineering, reflecting the era's enthusiasm for specialized racing vehicles.
