April 1951 
The Mark B 2/3 seater Tourer was similar
to the Mark A. It retained the Villiers 6E 197cc engine, 3 speed
direct change gearbox, 6 volt rectified electrical system and curved
glass windscreen, but now featured a coil spring rear suspension
with sliding block and guide bars, a hydraulic front shock absorber,
a larger luggage boot and a reshaped hood. There
was also a new type of foot brake pedal/cables and a new starter
cable. A locknut was even fitted to the steering wheel! Front lighting
was still by two external head and side lamps
of 12 watt / 3 watt capacity mounted on either side of the body.
Rear lighting retained the single, centrally mounted tail lamp with
the 3 / 3 watt double filament bulb. Again, no rear brake light
was fitted.
Vehicle length 9' 1", width 5' 0",
height 3' 9" and weight 420 lb.
May 1952

The Sharp's Minitruck was introduced.
A larger, upright rear body gave a carrying capacity of 24 cubic
feet or a payload of 3 cwt. and the hood had a roll-up flap at the
rear to facilitate loading. A single seat only for the driver was
fitted.

The Sharp's Minivan had the same carrying
capacity and payload as the Minitruck, but the Minivan had a built-in
compartment (with a door) at the rear, hood/sidescreens and a bench
type front seat for the driver.
August 1952
The Family "Safety Saloon" used
the same enclosed Minivan body and rear door, but also had side
windows and inward-facing rear seats fitted. This gave enough room
for two adults, with two small children seated in the rear.
