The top speed was in the region of 40mph.\n\nSeventy-three OBs, most of which having the classic Duple \u2018Vista\u2019 bodywork, were completed by the time the Second World War broke out in September that year. A wartime version, the OWB, was built during the war years, but the OB returned after the conflict, with construction continuing until 1951.d
