Cannon

Cannon Cars, a niche British automotive manufacturer, is best known for its creation of the Cannon Mk1, a lightweight, high-performance sports car that captures the spirit of classic British motoring. Founded by Bill Needham in the late 1970s, Cannon Cars focused on delivering a driving experience characterized by simplicity, agility, and raw mechanical engagement. The Cannon Mk1, their flagship model, features a minimalist design with a tubular steel chassis and fiberglass body, ensuring a low weight that enhances performance and handling.

Cannon Cars’ commitment to quality craftsmanship and performance engineering has cemented the Cannon Mk1’s status as a beloved icon among sports car enthusiasts and collectors.
