Call back of all Rippon-bodied cars! (see UPDATEs)

• 

No need to panic if you own a Rippon bodied motorcar. No failing doors, brakes or gas pedals. Some time ago we wrote about a booklet by Jonathan Wood about coachbuilding companies in the UK. One of them was Rippon from Huddersfield who have been in the business since 1555! They started building car bodies in 1905 and continued to do so until 1958, mostly on luxurious automobiles like Rolls Royce and Daimler. Now Jonathan wants to expand his knowledge about Rippon into a book that deals solely with the history of this interesting company. It is Jonathan’s intention to list every surviving Rippon-bodied car in the book and also he would like to hear their owner’s stories. He therefore asks our help. If you have a Rippon-bodied car do tell us! Also, any other information on Rippon will be most welcome. We’ll be glad to pass on the information. Mail us!

Update II: Hugh Nutting tells us that the Rippons built a Railton Limo for their own use. It is one of the best looking closed Railtons ever built and has survived.
Update I: Terry Cook owns a 1935 Rippon sports saloon with twin sun roof
