Hawksworth Auto Trailer (or Autocoach if you prefer) was built to diagram A.38 Lot 1736 in 1951. fitted with 9ft bogies, 13 of this particular lot were built and were 64ft long. There are three of this diagram on the South Devon, although on of them, number 232 'Clair' has had a gangway fitted at the non driving end.
Now, a question. This coach was built after nationalisation so should it have the W suffix? I am led to understand that only pre-nat built coaches had a W after the number. Is it because it is to a pre-nat diagram? Answers or reasons would be gratefully accepted.
