See photograph of first body that was put on Chassis no. FA2513.

When the Maharaja of Bhavnagar (India) had his 6½ litre Chassis no. FA2513 rebodied by Barkers in 1938, the original Barker boattail was bought by Coopers who modified it suitably and fitted it to the 4½ litre Chassis No. RN3050 above (with Reg. no. UC 2801).
