MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Ferranti Hardtop

I've recently acquired a hardtop for my Mk 2 Midget, 1964. It is very good quality, and has a maker's nameplate on the inside.

' Denis Ferranti Laminations Ltd '

Anyone have any info on this maker please ?

Cheers.

I had one a few years ago. It was also a Mk2 'works' hardtop.

I believe that Ferranti was one of the companies contracted to produce hardtops for BMC in the sixties.

They were located somewhere in the Midlands - possibly West Bromwich, from memory.

I thought they were north Welsh, I could be wrong tho..

No mention of hardtops here, but they were quite a diverse organisation...
