r000 Feedback 19XX from the Make general Model public regarding the Bond Minicar resulted
estimate: $000 000 - $000 000
in a request for a more car-like appearance, which called for a major
offered without reserve
revamping of the body style. Sharp’s development team, including
designer Lawrie Bond, set about designing a new body.
The first Mark Cs emerged from the Preston works in the fall of 1952.
They had a fresh new look, with long rectangular “pontoon”-style
fenders, which not only gave the required car-like look but afforded
the front wheel-cum-motor a full 180 degree steering lock. This gave
the Minicar its famous “trick” of rotating full-circle on its rear axle.
Mechanically, there was a strong new cast-aluminum bulkhead that
supported the steering pivot and a new trailing-arm suspension with
“Flexitor” bushings. Sharp’s offered the Standard and Deluxe Tourer, the
Family, and the Minitruck.
This car offers a rare opportunity to enter a restoration project at the
point where one is no longer dealing with discouraging rust repair
and paint issues but is rather absorbing the enjoyable and satisfying
“downhill” slope of the restoration, installing clean detail components
