Frederick Leslie Hart (born 12 September 1914, died 16 July 2008)[1] is best known as an automotive engineer for Ford in England.
Hart married Margaret Lydia Bennett in 1943, and they had a son named John.
He was promoted to chief engineer in 1963 and was involved with the Ford Corsair and the 1966 Zephyr and Zodiac.
[2] In 1969 Hart left Ford to join GKN Sankey in Telford as their technical director and to develop a car specifically for drivers who used wheelchairs, originally known as the Minissima and later as the Elswick Envoy.
The project won a Design Council commendation in 1978 but was too expensive for government support and was cancelled.
