In 1948, the year before Sir Bernard Docker's second marriage, he had a car built by Hooper on a DE36 chassis for the 1948 British Motor Show.
At a cost of £7,001, it was the most expensive car at the show.

The show car, a drophead coupé built on chassis number 51223, was painted pastel jade green, causing it to be named the "Green Goddess" by the motoring press.
The operation of the hood was electro-hydraulically powered, including the metal cover under which the hood was stored when retracted.
The side windows in the doors were electrically powered and the raked, curved windscreen had three wipers.
The headlights and pass lights were in recesses in the front wings, behind Perspex covers held in chrome bezels that were fluted at the top to match the radiator grille.
The body had aluminium spats set over the rear wheels, with spring balanced arms to move them out of the way for access to the wheels.

The car had seating for five, with an adjustable front bench seat with three individual backs, the outer two of which folded for access to the two armchairs in the back.
 The backs of the rear armchairs could be folded for extra luggage space.
The rear seats were centred such that their occupants could look between the heads of the front passengers for an unobstructed forward view.
The gear selectors were extended almost to the rim of the steering wheel for fingertip control, while the speedometer could be switched from miles to kilometres.

Hooper built six or seven more of these bodies on DE36 chassis.
These differed from the show car in small details, usually in the positioning of the headlights and side lights and in details regarding the wheel spats.
Some of the wheel spats were louvered diagonally.
Four examples of the type, including the show car, were known to exist in 2010.
One example is owned by the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust and is on display at the British Motor Museum in Warwickshire, England.
