Did this company ever get round to making complete bodies for cars or were they limited to accessories like the hardtop and bonnet shown here?

That really was a good lucky guess!

I had no idea Sorrell made this sort of thing before. Everyday is a learning experience at AP. Quite a handsome beast, too!
