Glenfrome was a British automotive company that operated from 1977 to 1988, initially based in Bristol and later relocating to London. The company specialized in modifying Range Rovers, transforming them into six-wheeled vehicles and convertibles, catering to a niche market.
The company's first notable project was the Delta, a two-door coupé characterized by its distinctive flying rear buttress styling and rubber-faced front bumper. Although it was designed in 1975 and featured a mid-mounted Triumph Dolomite Sprint engine, the Delta never entered production.
In 1981, Glenfrome shifted its focus to a new venture, commissioning designer Dennis Adams to create a luxury all-terrain sports coupé known as the Facet. This model showcased angular bodywork and included a removable roof panel that could be stored under the power-operated bonnet. The Facet was based on a Middle East specification Range Rover, equipped with air conditioning and an additional roll cage for enhanced safety. A total of 23 units were sold, primarily to customers in Arabian countries, before the model was succeeded in 1985 by the Profile, which featured a mild redesign.
