Gentry Badge
Gentry was founded by Roger Blockley and started producing cars commercially from 1974. The first premises were in Barwell, Leicestershire and became RMB Motors. The Gentry was sold as a fully assembled body shell needing only 12 bolts to secure it to a donor Triumph Herald or Vitesse chassis.
In 1989 Roger sold the company to two Gentry owners Mike Sinclair and Terry Phillips who traded as SP Motors. In May 1990 a new custom built chassis was introduced to take the running gear and engines of Ford Escort or Cortina models. Another change of name came in 1997 when Mike Sinclair left the company and Terry Phillips continued as TP Motors and a kit to take Ford Sierra mechanics followed.. In 2002 the company was sold to the Vintage Motor Company who have recently sold it on to Geoff and Ellen Beeston as the Gentry Motor Company and they have recently aquired the manufacturing rights.
