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.

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

The coach I remember was definitely done out as a motorhome completely and I think was in a light green colour.
