'''LNER Buffet Car 643''' was built during Sir Nigel Gresley's tenure as CME of the LNER. At the time the 'Gresley teaks' were designed, Oliver Bulleid (later appointed CME of the Southern Railway in 1937) was in charge of LNER Carriage and Wagon activities.<ref group="note">Bulleid served as Personal Assistant to Gresley at the GNR before World War 1, becoming Manager of the GNR Wagon and Carriage Works after the War. When Gresley became LNER CME at grouping, he again appointed Bulleid as assistant. With Bulleid's carriage background, it is likely he had significant input into the carriage designs.</ref> Bulleid believed in up-to-the-minute, "fashionable" interiors for his special vehicles. 643 had an attractive art deco interior finished in Rexine; in this case gold and red.<ref>SVR News 91, LNER (SVR) Coach Fund Notes, Richard Gunning</ref> In addition to the galley and bar, loose seating was provided for 24 passengers in the form of tubular chromed chairs. The Gresley Buffet Cars outlasted his other passenger carriages, with some continuing in BR service as late as 1977, being the mid-1970slast wooden bodied coaches on BR<ref name=Longworth>[[Bibliography#Other References|Longworth (2018)]] p. 259.</ref><ref>[http://www.srpsmuseum.org.uk/10029.htm The Scottish Railway Preservation Society website] (Retrieved 30 August 2021)</ref>.
