James Young Ltd was a British coachbuilding company. The business was started in 1863 in London Road, Bromley. originally producing horsedrawn carriages. In 1908 they made their first car body for the local Member of Parliament.〔A-Z of British Coachbuilders. Nick Walker. Bay View Books 1997. ISBN 1-870979-93-1〕 From 1921 they bodied several Bentley cars as well others such as Alfa Romeo, Sunbeam and Rolls-Royce. The company had grown sufficiently to take their own stand at the 1925 London Motor Show. As well as individual commissions James Young also fitted some standard designs to cars including Talbot and Sunbeam. In 1937 the company was bought by London Rolls-Royce dealer Jack Barclay.〔 During World War II they built aircraft components but the factory and all records were destroyed by bombing.〔 Coachbuilding resumed after the war and a stand was taken at the 1948 Motor Show.〔 The last automobile bodies (on the Rolls-Royce Phantom V chassis) were made in 1968, following fifty Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow Coupés built in 1966 and 1967. ==Gallery== Alfa Romeo 6C 1500 Normale.jpg|Drophead coupé 1928 Alfa Romeo 6C 1500 Normale 110 ans de l'automobile au Grand Palais - Rolls-Royce 40 50hp Phantom II Continental Sports Saloon - 1933 - 002.jpg|Sports saloon 1933 Rolls-Royce Phantom II 1934 Bentley 3-12 Litre ( B26AH) James Young Fixed Head Coupé.jpg|Fixed head coupé 1934 Bentley 3½ Litre Talbot BA110 coachwork James Young 1935 frontright 2010-04-08.jpg|Drophead coupé 1935 Talbot BA110 1949 Bentley MK VI Jas Young 8408064748.jpg|Coupé 1948 Bentley Mark VI Bentley R Type RREC Annual Rally 2010 4798560273.jpg|Saloon 1954 Bentley R-Type Bentley S1 James Young 4846564400.jpg|Saloon 1957 Bentley S 1961 Rolls-Royce Phantom V James Young limousine 5AT76 svr.jpg|Limousine 1961 Rolls-Royce Phantom V Bentley Continental Flying Spur ca 1965.jpg|Owner driver saloon 1965 Bentley Continental S3 1967 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow James Young Coupé front right.jpg|Fixed head coupé 1967 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James Young (coachbuilder)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
