My father had one of these in the early 70's. I remember going on a vintage rally & it running the bearings. At about 8 years of age, I helped him rebuild the motor. That was when I learned simple things, like how to use a ring squeezer & a valve spring compressor.

Wow - gorgeous example - but I'm intrigued, what are those chrome brackets/catches over the windows?

William Arnold (Manchester) Limited owned the Arnold of Manchester coachbuilding business in Chorlton-cum-Medlock, Manchester. Arnold's began making car bodies in 1910 and between the wars built many bodies for famous brands of car. They also built motor coaches. They tried their hand at bus bodies, both single-deck and double-deck between 1928 and 1931. War ended production. After the Second World War William Arnold built taxis and other commercial bodies but no more luxury coachwork. They also became Morris dealers. In 1953, they were appointed Volkswagen-Audi main dealers in the Northwest but, barely profitable, sold that agency in 1980. The company was dissolved in 1985.
