About the Event
The Jaguar XK150 SE Zagato was assembled as a rolling chassis at the Browns Lane factory in August 1957 as a special order for the Jaguar dealer in Geneva, who commissioned Zagato, the legendary Milanese coachbuilder, to design and build the unique alloy body. The finished car appeared on the Zagato stand at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1958.
Arbel cars were produced by the Compagnie Normande d'Etudes pour l'Application de Procédés Mécaniques. In 1958 they displayed the Symétric, an experimental prototype which was to be powered by a 'genestatom', a 40-KW nuclear thermal generator using radioactive cartridges made of nuclear waste. The French government did not approve the use of nuclear fuel and no development took place. The company went into debt and never recovered.
