Duple: After the Dominant

For seventy years, Duple was one of the two best-known names in coachbuilding in Britain. Formed in Hornsey, London, in 1919 before moving north to Blackpool, Duple grew to be one of the most popular suppliers of luxury coach bodies for the British market. Decline in new vehicle sales in the late 1980s saw Duple's fortunes start to fade, the company closing its doors for the final time in 1989.
This volume celebrates Duple's work after the era of its all-conquering Dominant bodywork.
