And not Windover, Hooper or Abbott (Hooper would have been my guess)?

Rippon, indeed, tottering towards extinction as a coachbuilder, having been building coaches at least since 1555 in Yorkshire, showed this 1951 car with chassisnr. WOF4 at the London Motor Show in Green. A six seater saloon with special airconditioning for J.Meek & Co Ltd. Still extant.
(Appleyard-) Rippon remained a retailer and later the main supplier of pre-1955 RR & Bentley parts within the Barclay Group.
