Celebrating Duple after the era of the all-conquering Dominant. This volume focuses on the Duple’s work after the era of its popular Dominant bodywork.

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.

Howard Berry inherited his interest in road transport from his father. He has a real fondness for or the products of AEC, and for many years has been a Director and committee member of The AEC Society.

He has spent 30 years in the passenger transport industry and lives in rural North Shropshire.
