This small British car conceived by Raymond Flower was produced by Henry Meadows Ltd., later Frisky Cars Ltd. The company offered several variants of the microcars. The very beautiful body was the work of the Turin-based Vignale studio. The Frisky Family 3, rolled out in 1959, was a three-wheeled model, unlike the other Friskies, and thus cheaper.
