The only other cars with bodies of that company I can find in the internet came from another british make (beginning with "A"...)

All those cars were made ca. between 1933 and 1939.

The Cross&Ellis special Golfer's Coupe body on the 1935 Gloria chassis. The hatch behind the door opened to allow the bag of clubs to be slotted in to the rear of the passenger compartment.

All those cars were made ca. between 1933 and 1939.
The Coventry coach builders Cross and Ellis supplied bodies to other Coventry companies including Alvis, Armstrong Siddeley and Lea Francis. They were making bodies for Lea-Francis and Alvis in the 1920s (1923 on in the case of Alvis)
Opinionated but sometimes wrong
