Abbott (E D Abbott Limited) was a British coachbuilding company founded in 1929 based in Farnham, Surrey. Edward Dixon Abbott had been employed in the design department of the Wolseley car company before joining the coachbuilders Page and Hunt which had started operations in 1920. Abbott became their London Sales Manager and when Page and Hunt failed in 1929 he took over their Farnham works forming a new company taking his name. In 1934 Abbott got a major contract from Lagonda to provide all the bodies for the new small Rapier and work from Frazer-Nash for coachwork on imported BMW chassis.
