The Harrington Gathering Comes to the Transport Museum Wythall - 21/05/23

Thomas Harrington Ltd was a coachbuilder based in Hove, who built coach bodywork on a number of different bus chassis. Some of their designs featured the iconic dorsal fin. They also produced bodywork for a number of cars, notably Sunbeam Alpines, resulting in both the Sunbeam Harrington Alpine and the Sunbeam Harrington Le Mans. There was also the Triumph GTR4 Dove, based on the TR4 model. The Harrington Gathering was an event to bring together surviving examples, generally meeting every five years or so at the Amberley Chalk Pits Museum. However, with the last such event taking place in 2012, it was decided to revive the Gathering with an event at the Transport Museum at Wythall on 21st May 2023. In attendance were a number of coaches displaying the various styles of bodywork including Wayfarer, Crusader, Cavalier, and Grenadiers, and also Sunbeam Harrington Alpines, Le Mans and a Triumph GTR4 Dove. A highlight was a chance to ride on Western Welsh 145 (ABO 145B), an AEC Reliance with Harrington Grenadier body, new in 1964.
