Corry Car Co. was a Northern Irish automobile manufacturer that operated from 1983 to 1985. Founded by businessman Will Corry in Lisburn, County Antrim, the company emerged following the closure of the Welsh sports car maker Davrian. Corry acquired the remaining assets of Davrian and sought to create a new line of vehicles.
To enhance the design of the cars, Corry enlisted the expertise of Tony Stevens, who had previously worked on the Stevens Cipher. The primary focus of Corry's production was on competition vehicles, particularly a mid-engined sports coupé that participated in various minor rally events. While the car achieved some success in competitions, the production of road cars was limited, resulting in few sales during the company's brief existence.
In 1985, the company relocated to Ballynahinch, County Down, but ultimately ceased operations shortly thereafter. Despite its short lifespan, Corry Car Co. contributed to the niche market of sports cars in Northern Ireland during the 1980s.
