Dellow cars were made in factories at Alvechurch, Birmingham, England between 1949 and 1959.

Dellow Motors were founded by Ken Delingpole and Ron Lowe to produce cars for use in motor trials.

The first cars used a Ford 10 engine in an A frame chassis with very light simple aluminiium bodywork, early cars had no doors. Emphasis was on precise handling and good performance. Many sporting awards were won by drivers of Dellow cars in the early 1950s,

Their styling was created by Lionel Evans at his Radpanels coachbuilding workshop in Kidderminster. The car went through several variants known as Mk I to Mk V. Early cars had a beam front axle with transverse spring which continued until the Mk V which had coil springs. About 300 are thought to have been made.

A new company, Dellow Engineering, based in Oldbury, Birmingham produced a MK VI - often incorrectly quoted with glass fibre body, it too was built with alloy but few MK VI were made.
