Further to above re possible Body builders (and not necessarily Holden) in the period mentioned. Try Richards, Green, Steenbohm, Propert, Agate, Sweeney, George, Dan White, plus another near the cnr of Carlisle & Brighton Rds, St.Kilda, whose name I've temporarily forgotten. Although a few of them were based in Sydney, Austin Distributors in Melbourne dealt with all of them including Holden. (Apart from Green who also made a coupe, the above list does not include the specialist builders of Sports bodies). Take your pick. Cheers, Bill
And Tony, I was told by an ex employee of Ruskin Motors that he felt that just as many bodies were made for Austin as for Morris - in fact he claimed they produced one body that could be adapted to either chassis! - but guessed more for Austin, that's why he felt Austin bought them out and assembled their own products from then on. Cheers, Bill
