Not really forgotten, but one can never miss an excuse for a photo of Eastleigh's finest. On the roundabout at Southampton Airport there is a model of a Spitfire (Supermarine, not Triumph!), but I think that below it there should be a model of a Gordon Keeble to celebrate the airport being the original site of the factory.

I'm sure this plaque is in Southampton Airport multi-storey.

Peerless GT (later revived as the Warwick), predecessor of the Gordon-Keeble.

Cool!
When I was younger a bloke in the next street had one tucked away in his garage but it never saw the road.

GSM Delta.

OK, so it was designed in South Africa, but made in Kent!

Bugger, I was only in the Airport car park last weekend. Must keep my eyes open next time, though at their prices I won't spend ages looking for it.

Well that isn't a Humber Andrew, it's an Austin J 40. And something else I quite fancy...

The name, albeit spelt differently reappeared on trucks in the early 70s.

Utterly obscure these days, not even a Wikipedia entry, but there is some information and pics here:
