Dick Buckland developed an automobile and presented it at a kit car show in Stoneleigh in 1985. The production and marketing of automobiles and kits was initially carried out together with Laurie Weeks through the Light Car & Cycle Restoration Company. In 1988 he founded Buckland Cars in his home town of Llanwern near Newport in the Welsh county of Gwent. The brand name was Buckland. Production ended in 1999 when Dick Buckland fell ill. A total of twelve copies were made.[3]
Penguin Speed Shop from Sarn in Flintshire, led by John Wilcox, has continued production since 2011, retaining the brand name.
