I had already checked this out and believe the car is a 2-door saloon. Link to "en.wikipedia.org" Note the external hinges on the B-pillar are still there, but the position of the top one is higher. -- Last edit: 2014-12-09 21:29:32

I was looking at pics of 2 door with big hinges - eg http://www.simoncars.co.uk/ac/slides/AC%202-litre%20rear.jpg , but seems there were also later much smaller hinges - eg http://www.simoncars.co.uk/ac/slides/s_AC%202-litre%20side.jpg . Chrome windscreen = Sept 48 onwards. Seeing that 4 door pic, I can understand why they only sold 50 max.
