About Barker

Barker Classic Bentley CoachbuildFounded in 1710 in London, Barker was known for making luxurious carriages at first, and car bodies in the 20th century. A lot of Barker’s work was done for Bentley and Rolls Royce rolling chassis, up until the company started to provide their own bodywork in 1946. In the 1920s and 1930s, Barker fell behind its competitors because the coachbuilder didn’t move towards lighter alloy frames and therefore limited the performance of the model. Long-time rival Hooper & Co. took the firm over in 1938 and Daimler acquired both in 1940 to become part of the BSA group. If you’d like to hear more about the story of Barker coachbuilders and designs, The Beverly Hills Car Club would be more than happy to answer your questions and have a talk about classic cars, so don’t hesitate to reach out to the team!
