We really don't have a lot of options to solve a puzzle like this, but to find where the coachbuilder was located.

We now say goodbye to Glastonbury :) and its surroundings.

Let's move to let's say Newark. Is it in Newark?

Not Newark
This year my Christmas wish is a map wallpaper showing all the coachbuilders for the living room. Hope the family agrees with it  ;) :D

That is utterly difficult. I tried to do one for coachbuilders in Germany, but I gave up. It needs to be interactive and you need to be able to filter it to have a chance

In any case, near Wolverhampton perhaps?

No
Such a shame, then I'll still have to use other ways and maybe prove again that I wasn't the best in geography at school  ;)

As you can see I am circling around Lincolnshire. Is that the right region?
