"Freestone and Webb made the transition from designs (like the coupe above) to a shape that was almost a direct copy of the Hooper Empress". But I should have spotted the flat bumpers peculiar to F & W. Quote from "Coachwork on Rolls-Royce and Bentley 1945 to 1965" James Taylor, Herridge and Sons. -- Last edit: 2020-04-26 21:35:27
