Lightburn and Frisky connection...
Gordon Bedson worked at Frisky in Britain and designed the Frisky Sprint, said to be capable of 90 mph (fancy anyone being brave enough!?) The Sprint never reached production and Bedson moved to Australia and designed the Zeta which looks very similar to the Frisky Sprint. I did some research on the Meadows Engineering company a few months ago for an article in the Wessex Club newletter Smalltalk. To my shame I hadn't previously connected the Frisky with the pre-war engines used by Lagonda, Invicta and the like until then.

Aha, so that's why they both look similar, thanks for
that, I wonder if somebody (Autocult perhaps?) would ever model the Berkley the little fibreglass sports two seater which had a very tiny engine and was produced about 1959/60, I have done this from memory and not checked this so could be wrong

Berkeley
Yes made by a caravan manufacturer... Powered by motor bike engines and available as a three wheeler - single wheel at back or four wheeler. Quite pretty in a brutal way and supposed to be quite fast and easy to lose control of...
