Of all the specialist coachbuilders that survived through to the Thirties, The New Avon Body Co. Ltd built arguably some of the prettiest bodies of the period. Perhaps ‘pretty’ is the wrong word and should be replaced by ‘handsome’, this 1931 Swan DHC body on a Standard chassis deserving the use of that adjective. The Jensen brothers worked with Avon during the early thirties and their design skills are much in evidence here. Without a doubt, this is one of the better-looking bodies to adorn a Wolseley Hornet chassis.
