About Barker

 

Barker was founded in 1710 in London and known for making luxurious carriages at first, and car bodies in the 20th century. Bentley and Rolls Royce rolling chassis constituted the bulk of Baker’s work, up until the two automakers started to provide their own bodywork in 1946. Baker fell behind its competitors in the 1920s and 1930s, because the coachbuilder didn’t move towards lighter alloy frames and therefore limited the performance of the model. Long-time rival Hooper & Co. took over Barker’s business in 1938, and Daimler acquired both in 1940 to become part of the BSA group. Alex Manos and his team would be happy to share more information about Baker coach building business if you need help building an ad to sell your classic.
