DAMS and Reynard. They built the cars, tested them and intended to race but never got the budgets together.
There is a whole book on the subject (called Unraced-look it up on Amazon), which is a reasonable price and covers the late 80's/90's cars which were built and never raced (such as the Honda RA099 and the early 90's Honda prototypes tested at Suzuka), and the design sheet-only cars.

A couple from the Fifties: Sacha Gordine, who built a sweet-looking car which looked a bit like the later sharknose Ferrari, but ran out of money; and Kieft, who abandoned their GP project when Coventry Climax pulled the plug on the Godiva engine. It was over 50 years before the Kieft chassis was completed ....

Also from the fifties or sixties is the Walker-Climax. Rob Walker was running Coopers in 1959 - Climax and BRM powered. In 1960 he started with a Cooper and then acquired a Lotus 18. In parallel with this Alf Francis and Valerio Colotti designed a car with a 2.5 Climax in 1960 and went on to start a lighter version for 1961 with a 1.5 litre climax (FPF). The first car was completed and tested but the second was never completed. Neither was raced as Stirling Moss was happy with the Lotus.

Indeed, it was after Harvey's death, and beacuse of it, that the whole thing crumbled.
