Thanks all,
Photo of utility body acquired and also more info has surfaced. The original body of B178DG is currently on B17AE.
Regards

Sue,
Is the chassis number correct as B178DG was turned into a P111 12 cylinder special by Bob Burrell?
The history on your site ties in with B192DG the other car, but there is no mention of a Vincent body except the L F Morris tourer body presumably fitted as shown.
There is a reference to the Flying Lady (RROC) p,3596.
B192DG was built with a Park Ward saloon body.
The only record of a Vincent utility rebody is on B142JD as shown above
Another Bob Burrell, so powerful that the back end spins round when the clutch is let in. It is a private collection, but the E Type Jaguar all synchro gearbox became very badly damaged.

I would think that the club librarian or archivist could help.
If not the VSCC probably has a full run of bulletins in its library.

Vincents Utility bodies were exactly like this one, even on the Rolls-Royce.
None of the history books mention them.
