Durow (United Kingdom) - AllCarIndex

Durow Cars was a British automobile manufacturer based in Newthorpe, Nottinghamshire. The company was known for its unique approach to car design, attempting to create a neo-classic style reminiscent of American vehicles. This was characterized by features such as expansive wings, a long bonnet, and the use of whitewall tires, combined with a central body derived from the M.G. Midget.

The chassis of Durow cars was designed to be large yet simple, allowing for the integration of Ford Granada mechanical components, with the option of equipping vehicles with a Rover V8 engine. Durow offered a diverse range of bodywork options, including choices between fibreglass and stainless steel, as well as configurations for two-seater or four-seater models. Additionally, the company produced extra-long wheelbase limousines, fixed-head coupes, and convertible styles.

Among the notable model names produced by Durow were the Deluge, Debonair, and Starr, each reflecting the brand's distinctive design philosophy and catering to a niche market interested in classic American aesthetics combined with British engineering.
