Shirley Mk2 1960
Submitted by Rick Feibusch, 2008

The Shirley Mk1 was the first bodyshell to have the Shirley name. Like a lot of specials of this era the Shirley was based around Ford Popular (upright) models which provided the chassis and mechanical components. The Shirley Mk1 was available as a 2 seat open top tourer with full opening doors and elegant bodywork giving an air of aerodynamics - at the back anyway. The 1172cc Ford sidevalve was the engine of choice (as it came with the donor) Wheelbase was 7' 6" with a 4' track. Bodyshell prices were around 90 GBP. The sale of Shirley bodyshells seemed to fizzle out around 1960. Shirley Shirley Mk2 1959 to 1960

The Shirley Mk2 was a development of the Mk1, the redesign most prominent in the nose section. Like a lot of specials of this era the Shirley was based around Ford Popular (upright) models which provided the chassis and mechanical components.

The Shirley Mk2 was available as a 2 or 4 seater (bodywork simply cut out of the rear deck to accomodate the extra 2 seats) and also with a hardtop (extra 35 GBP) and full opening doors.

The 1172cc Ford sidevalve was the engine of choice (as it came with the donor) Wheelbase was 7' 10" with a 4' track for the 4 seater and 7' 6" for the 2 seater. Bodyshell prices were around 90 GBP. The sale of Shirley bodyshells seemed to fizzle out around 1960.
