Wicker Car Body:

Picture2013 Wicker Car Body on 1913 Merlin Chassis
There's not many people I know of today that have seen, let alone heard of, a wicker car body. Yet back in the early 1900's this was an accepted and stylish method as it was light and quite durable.

1900's Beacon
During the later part of 2013 this wicker car body was meticulously hand crafted onto a 1913 Merlin Vintage car chassis and the wicker body had to resemble close to that of a this early 1900 Beacon 'Rally Car'
