Some were a bit jokey and cartoon like, and led to Royces introducing Miss Thornton posing in such an aura of elegance. A modern equivalent would be like trying to identify a hatchback from the design of the sat nav sucker. -- Last edit: 2016-01-29 09:01:21

The windscreen is split horizontally not vertically, the front mudguards are shorter. Chassis possibly the same but different body?
