£6.45

In Auto Review 055 Fine Bodies we described a selection of British coachbuilders, as well as providing some background information on the process of coachbuilding, and we reproduced charts of the many types of body style. We therefore do not need to repeat any of that in this publication, Fine Bodies II, which is devoted to European coachbuilders. Only the more important or more interesting companies are noted here. In our limited number of pages we could not cover all of the many hundreds of coachworks which have been established down the years. Some of the companies we have left out of our c

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as OXFORD DIECAST LIMITED, number 02869520. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
