Frank Feeley

Frank Gerald Feeley, born in Staines-upon-Thames on 16 January 1912,[1] was an automotive stylist and designer.

The receiver was called in and Feeley left to join coachbuilding company Newns based in Thames Ditton.

His first job at Eagle coachworks, the trading name used by Newns, was to design a special body for Sir Malcolm Campbell's tuned Rapier.

Meanwhile, Lagonda was rescued from receivership and in 1937 Feeley returned to work there as body designer.

He went on to design the 1949 Le Mans racer which would utilise the recently acquired Lagonda 2.6-Litre engine, and which would evolve into the DB2.
