Convair was a British automotive company based in London, known for its innovative approach to sports car manufacturing during its operational period. The company specialized in producing fiberglass sports car shells, which were a step above the typical offerings of the time.

Convair developed its own twin-tube steel chassis, designed specifically for compatibility with BMCA-series components. This allowed for a more integrated and robust vehicle structure. The Mk I model featured a conventional open fiberglass body, but it also offered an optional hardtop variant, which included distinctive gull-wing doors, adding a unique aesthetic to the design.

While Convair's production was limited, its contributions to the sports car segment reflected the evolving automotive landscape of the era, showcasing advancements in materials and design.
