-Raymond Flowers, son of Edmond Flowers. The owner of the Cairo Motor Company, a trading company that has provided American and British cars to the Egyptian car market since 1908, and Raymond, along with the British company Frisky, are in Knockdown (KD) format. I planned to import the cars at and later assemble them in Egypt.
-The development of the small car was done in the UK and the body design was done by the design office Vignale, especially Giovanni Michelotti.
-All contracts were signed quickly, the only thing missing was a license from the British authorities. However, Egyptian authorities did not allow the import. Nobody expected this decision.
-In order to continue the Egyptian car project, the chief immediately looked for a supplier outside the British Empire. Fortunately, the Swabian company NSU collaborated to ship a chassis of type [Prints] to Egypt.
-Upon arrival, they fitted a two-door chassis with steel-framed rims, also designed by Giovanni Michelotti of Vignale.
-A special factory was built near Gizeh in 1958 for the assembly of small cars. The official car maker was [Egypt Motor Company].

-The new car was named [Ramses] after the Great Pharaoh.
-The type is now named [Gamira]. Lightweight and powered by NSU's powerful 22hp rear engine, the car accelerated to a top speed of 116km / h.
