stevew   10 #27 Posted April 27, 2019 As a student in '64, I worked for Longdens on a building extension for Kennings here. A mobile home based on a full-size coach was often seen on the forecourt of the factory which I was told belonged to Arthur Lee of the steelwork company. The rear of the coach opened up to provide wheelchair access. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Golly D Guite   0 #28 Posted April 28, 2019 The only coach I can remember similar to that I think it was brown and gold livery the whole back opened up for a formula 3 car to drive in not sure but around late sixties stan hay woods son was into formula 3 racing don't think it belonged to them . On display in the showroom was a horse drawn paraffin tanker that was one of the first of the kenning families business endeavour's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
stevew   10 #29 Posted April 28, 2019 The coach I remember was definitely done out as a motorhome completely and I think was in a light green colour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
