Issue 55 of the Auto Review series, first published in early 1996 - series of compact and concise monographs on topics related to transportation and collecting.

This issue - Fine Bodies: Coachbuilt in Britain - tells the story of the leading British coachbuilders who, over the years, have produced a variety of elegant bodywork for the chassis of various manufacturers.

By 1961, James Young was the only independent coachbuilder left, but he too disappeared within six years. Some companies that built bodies on car chassis were also involved in the production of special fittings for commercial vehicles, buses, coaches, vans and ambulances.

When Giles Chapman selected the 37 most important coachbuilders of all time, eight were British: Barker, Freestone & Webb, Gurney Nutting, H J Mulliner, Hooper, James Young, Park Ward and Vanden Plas.
