USING standard framing developed for underfloor-engined chassis, 'Thomas Harrington, Ltd., Hove, has recently constructed two luxury bodies on Foden rear-engined chassis. Only an unusually acute observer could determine that the engine is not located in a more conventional position. The first of the vehicles was supplied to Topping's Super Coaches. Ltd., Liverpool, and was equipped with 'the Gardner 6LW engine. Staggered seats for 37 passengers were fitted, compared with 41 accommodated in the second vehicle, built to the order of Bassett's Coachways, Ltd., Stoke-on-Trent. This
bad the Foden two-stroke unit. Both were 30 ft. long and 8 ft. wide.
The spare wheel is placed under the front overhang and is reached through a hinged panel. Luggage space is provided in lockers in the body sides under the floor, also reached by hinged panels. Special consideration has been given to the question of accessibility to the engine and its auxiliaries.
The fuel tank is mounted immediately behind the off-side rear wheel behind another hinged panel. This also incorporates a small flap covering the fuel filler beneath which the tank contents gauge is fitted, an aperture enabling readings to be taken from the exterior.
Behind the tank is the radiator, concealed behind a grille. Both tank and radiator can be readily removed through these panels for maintenance. The rearMost body pillar is a divided bolted unit, the lower half of which ' may be taken away to provide unhindered approach to this sidemounted equipment.
This special pillar and the extra panels were the only departure from the normal specification.
