The Python was a sports car developed in the mid-1960s in the north of Vancouver, British Columbia, by Paul Stuart, Victor House, and Fergus Dudley. Paul Stuart was the head of a high school in Richmond during this time. The vehicle incorporated technology from Volkswagen and Porsche.
The design of the Python featured a front end reminiscent of MG models, with doors inspired by the Ferrari Dino. The middle section and rear of the car, including the area above the rear window, were similar to the 1963–1967 Corvette. Additional design influences included elements from the Datsun 240 Z and the Jaguar E-Type.
Most Pythons were built on a Volkswagen platform and powered by Volkswagen boxer engines, while two units were equipped with V8 engines. The windshield and hood were sourced from MG. The first Python used a modified Corvette frame designed by Victor House. The car was available in coupe and convertible body styles, with an optional hardtop for the convertible version.
Between 1965 and 1969, an estimated 40 to 45 units of the Python were produced. Fewer than five examples are believed to have survived.
