The Phoenix
Lets get this right
The car shown is the "Bug" the prototype Gullwing Frisky.
The car's chassis was designed and built by Gordon Bedson and Keith Peckmore, not Raymond Flower, he brought the small car concept to Meadows in 1957 after Nasser threw him and all other English people out of Egypt.
The body design was by Michelotti
In Egypt RF had an ambition to build an Egyptian Racing car, called the Phoenix called because in the Egyptian riots of 1952(?) all his businesses got burnt down, hence " rising from the flames"
He bought the Phoenix Racer to Kieft Ltd at Wolverhampton and it was being tested at the same race track as the 1957 24hr, 7 day Gull wing trials. Hence a bit of press confusion.
The Frisky has nowt to do with Egypt or the racing Pheonix. Its British!!
There is already plenty of info on this on the Meadows Frisky site and for those of you hungering to know more about Raymond Flower I am in the process of putting together a shortish article about him for the site.
Hope this helps folks
