As for coupe or saloon - Audax Rapiers never had B-pillar so would normally be coupe but..... the roof is not coupe (in the literal use of the word) with 2 full seats and headroom in rear. Roof was slightly lower than other Audaxes (in same way Sceptre Mk1 was lower than Super Minx/Vogue) but for me that's still not quite enough, so I vote saloon. Given that both cases can be argued, I'm not too bothered if it goes coupe - it's a policy decision more than a detailed assessment in the circumstances.
