Just open the drawer.

For one point, please respond and identify the coachbuilder responsible for this conversion.

Sorry, I don't have a year for it.

Is the extension for sleeping/camping?

Seems to be a late 1933 Humber Snipe 80. As yet, not a clue about the coachbuilder;...but let's start with Thrupp & Maberly!

Was the coachbuilder Martin-Walter?

J. H. Jennings & Son?

My source didn't tell.

None of the three coachbuilders mentioned.

It was called the "Cara-Bed", and came to light in 1934.

Wendax · « **Reply #15 on:** December 29, 2019, 12:49:17 PM »

Perhaps, my source doesn't mention Cara-Bed, but it would fit. Do you know the coachbuilder?

This is the 'Cara-Bed' conversion by Weathershields Ltd of Birmingham:

It is not the name I have, but I regard your source more reliant than mine (a contemporary caption by Keystone). Perhaps Keystone mixed up the builder and the dealer. So I will give one point to FrontMan for finding the Cara-Bed name one to you for providing the coachbuilder Weathershields.

My source:

Thanks for the point!
