http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Cowperthwaite
John Cowperthwaite was a man from Sheffield, England who designed many kit cars. They were often not finished kits but "plan and pattern"
cars where the builders were expected to manufacture many of the parts themselves. Among his creations are the JC Midge, Locust, the Husky and the
Mayfair.
He started out by making fibreglass bodies under the name "Moss". The first was a two seater. It was followed by a 2+2 called Moss Malvern
of 1982 and the two seater was then renamed to Moss Roadster. 1983 also saw the introduction of the Moss Mamba. In 1984 came the Moss Monaco and the
Midge. In 1987 the Moss marque went under, but the assets was bought from Hampshire Classics by three members of the Moss car club. Except for the
Mamba, production continued by Moss Cars (Bath) until the early 1990s.
