Summary

Duple: Echoes After the Dominant

For seventy years, Duple stood as a titan in British coachbuilding. Born in Hornsey, London, in 1919, the company’s move to Blackpool marked the beginning of a legacy as a premier supplier of luxury coach bodies. However, the shifting tides of the late 1980s brought a decline in new vehicle sales, leading to Duple’s closure in 1989.

This volume commemorates Duple’s endeavors in the years following its renowned Dominant bodywork.
