Post by Bryan Walker »

Hi,
Does anyone have photos of the interior of the coach built steel bodied saloons from 1930.
Also how many still exist.

Thanks
Bryan

I think there are only three short saloons remaining in the uk.

Two fabric bodied and one steel coachbuilt. The coachbuilt one is a later model, though from 1933 I believe

I have the pleasure of owning what I believe is the only steel bodied 7 hp short saloon, unless there's another one lurking in a garage somewhere in the world.
It is registered BV 3232 and its engine number is 437773.

It's a 1934 model.

P.S. I forgot to mention that Lisa (L) is now 52 and Richard (R) will be 44 at Christmas.
