BERKELEY T60 1961


History

The company produced novel sportscar designs by Lawrence "Lawrie" Bond
 in the Berkeley Coachworks factory owned by Charles Panter, which at the
 time was one of the largest manufacturers of caravans in Europe .
It was an ideal project for Berkeley, who had developed considerable skills in
 the use of Glass-reinforced plastic), and were looking for something to fill 
the gaps in the very seasonal caravan market. 
What Panter and Bond wanted to achieve was "something good enough 
to win World 750cc races... but cheap, safe, easily repairable and pretty."

Bond's design capitalised on Berkeley's GRP experience, and consisted of 
three large mouldings (floor or 'punt', nose, tail) with no conventional chassis.
 Production began with 3 prototypes, which were seen being tested with
enthusiasm around the neighborhood of Biggleswade in the late summer of 
1956. 
Stirling Moss drove one at Goodwood in September, and the public saw the new 
Berkeley en masse at the 1956 London Motor Show - one year ahead of the
 Lotus Elite which was also to be of fibreglass monocoque construction.
Unfortunately the caravan market collapsed towards the end of 1960,
 and Berkeley's slumping sales forced the company into liquidation on 12
 December 1960, taking its car manufacturing activities with it. 
After having produced about 4100 cars of various types, the workforce was laid
 off shortly before Christmas that year. An attempted sale of the company to
 Sharp's Commercials Ltd (manufacturer of the Bond Minicar) came 
to nothing, and the last cars were sold in 1961.
The factory was later used by Kayser Bondor Ltd to make women's underwear,
 but it has now been demolished and the site turned over to housing. 
A road named 'Berkeley Close' in the housing estate provides 
the only obvious link to the car factory.
Today there is an active owner's club (the Berkeley Enthusiasts' Club), 
which provides a range of parts and services aimed at preserving 
the remaining few hundred cars known to survive worldwide.
