The 1932 "THE RANEE Foursome Drop-head Coupe" is only neutrally called "Foursome Drop-head Coupe" in 1933. It is offered by Maddox & Sons Ltd, Huntingdon.

The body is the result of the years of experience of this well-known traditional company in the construction of convertible coupes.
The problems involved in the production of such a body have been successfully overcome, and the combination of a fully opening body with a flat folding top with a fully closed saloon that is free from rattling or draughts has been a complete success.

High quality materials are used at an extremely moderate price. Glossy cellulose lacquer, a top material of excellent quality and durability, and other details offer everything an owner could ask for.

Adjustable front seats with carefully designed, comfortable seating position, lockable doors, safety glass all round, ashtray and rear-view mirror are just a few details worth mentioning. The rear auxiliary seats are better than their name suggests: they offer plenty of legroom in spacious bays without compromising the valuable luggage space in the graceful rear.

For the model year 1933 body and equipment were revised. Major changes were not necessary.
