| 摘要： | Over the years there have been numerous examples of bodies being built by one company to the designs of another. Much more unusual however are bodies involving three builders, such as those on Guy Arab UF coaches SFC 501-4, supplied to South Midland Motor Services of Oxford in 1953. The story begins with the renaming in the autumn of 1947 of the Lydney, Gloucestershire-based Mumford Body & Engineering Company as Lydney Coachworks. It was a subsidiary of Red & White United Transport and in the years that followed many of its bodies were built for fellow subsidiaries such as Red & White Services and United Welsh Services. With the sale of the Red & White group to the British Transport Commission (BTC) in February 1950, Lydney Coachworks came into state ownership. Its future still seemed bright, with Major Chappie of the BTC suggesting that Lydney should work in conjunction with the Bristol Tramways & Carriage Company in the design and manufacture of bodies for underfloor-engined Bristol chassis. |
