Turner Sports Cars was started by Welshman Jack Turner in 1949, building several one off racing specials before introducing his first mainstream car to the public in 1954, the Turner 803 (A30). Several models were introduced over the years from Turners premises in Wolverhampton, the 950 (803 with A35 948cc engine), Turner Sports and Turner GT. Turner sports cars had and still has a proud history in racing, taking on the mainstream manufacturers and often beating them. Many Turners still take part in historical racing meets. Turner production ceased in 1966 due to illness of Jack Turner.
