Bell Automotive started out as a ammunition manufacturer in the Brecon mountains of Wales at the start of WW1 all the way up to the end of WW2, during the first year of WW2 however one of our employees from the casting workshop was designing a car in his spare time, the unknown (at the time) man went to the boss one evening after completing his design and presented the plans to the CEO. Fast forward a few years to 1940 and under secrecy the company was tooling up the empty storage warehouse to accomodate a small production line of this car, by 1941 the car was ready and we unveiled it to a small group of investors who saw this as an oppertunity to get working class Britain and the soldiers their very own car, so production went under way with a civillian version and a military version. This car (Corleone) proved to be very sucessful and by the end of WW2 the company was booming and looking to expand quickly to the states (we still managed despite rationing).
