Out
of over 3000 Green Goddesses produced, Park
Royal built just 150 (see

November 1954 to January 1955 with PRV body numbers

registrations PGW51 to PGW200.

Brian
Burgess is keen to know if anyone can shed any light on the Green Goddess bodies built by the
above companies.
(Can you help? Please email and I will be pleased to pass on
any information; Ed.)
Brian
is the owner of PRV built PGW163 and has kindly supplied an interesting article about
it and his close and long association with it.

Note[1]: The order placed with Park Royal was for 200 Green Goddesses (PGW1 to PGW200) but, no doubt due to capacity issues at the time, Park Royal subcontracted the first 50 to Longwell Green. These used the registrations PGW1 to PGW50 and thus are the rarest of all Green Goddess bodies.
