Cunard (coachbuilder)

Shortly after its formation, Cunard became a subsidiary of Napier and acted as their in-house coachbuilder but continued to supply bodies to other companies.

[1] The name was revived in 1930 by an ex Cunard managing director, R. I. Musselwhite and V. E. Freestone from another well known coachbuilder, Thrupp & Maberly.

In 1931, after only a few bodies had been made, the company was bought by the London agent for Morris cars Stewart and Ardern and both Musselwhite and Freestone left.

Production was now concentrated on a range of standard bodies for Morris, Rover and Wolseley (especially the Hornet model).

During the early 60s a number of Morris Minis were modified by lowering the suspension, the roof height and replacing All the glass with Perspex.
