Messrs. Hooper and Barkers have adjoining stands and show luxurious

examples of their craft on some of the larger chassis. A cabriolet de vine on the Barker stand which has been built for the Prince of Wales and is unobtrusively distinguished and beautifully finished has attracted much attention. Then there is an interesting Gordon England saloon on an Invicta chassis. This saloon is fitted throughout with Triplex glass, has aluminium panels, and two doors of exceptional width. The remarkable point is that the body only weighs 3i cwt. It costs 2500, of which the Triplex glass accounts for some £40.
