Details

A hive of activity in the Met-Camm works at Saltley with Class 101 vehicles in various states on construction. One can be identified on the left, DMBS E51221, listed as new to South Gosforth 16/10/58 which dates this to around late September 1958. Note the vehicles are glossed and lined before the windows are fitted. Three stages of roof construction can be seen, assembly, etch priming the alloy panels, and after applying red-oxide primer. Possibly a hand tinted image, it appeared in a Met-Camm publicity brochure.
