The body on the Austin was built by Norwich Coachworks they were a popular body builder back in the day…they built quite a lot of bodies for the Griff Fender fleet in the late 60s into the early 70s.
Griff Fender refurbished some of the Norwich bodies off early 70s BMC Lairds and rebodied them on to Leyland Boxers…thanks for posting

The refurbed Norwich Coachwork bodies off BMC Lairds put on to Boxers…the bodies were well worn by the time this pic was taken at the end of there life’s
