Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion, one of three built.

I went to one of his lectures a while back, he tackled many topics and it made a great impression on me especially his mathematical reasoning of why it was unlikely Earth is the only planet with life at this stage of evolution. He invented the Geodesic dome and was the first person to use the word synergy which he defined as doing more with less.

OK back to work.

Long while. He died in 1983.

He must have been in his mid seventies when he gave the lecture, a group of us at Ravensbourne Art College got tickets and traveled up to London, to somewhere near the Houses of Parliament.

Early shape Vauxhall Wyvern/Velox Cresta with a probably Farnham estate conversion - super-rare now.

Those Vauxhalls are one of the 50's biggest sellers - almost 500,000 made in UK, Belgium and Australia and New Zealand by GM.

Location looks like London possibly.

Thanks for the info. Yes I think it to be an Abbot conversation  - which was called by GM a 'Friary' - because Ford used the Abbot name on their estates - even though both were built by...Abbot. 'Farnham' was one of the estate model type names used applied to the Fords. All a bit confusing - but more info here clearing it all up.

The way that shell has come apart - you can see the way the whole thing was constructed.
