What can be seen could be a Silver Cloud I Standard Steel Saloon. |

What differentiates a Sports Saloon from a Standard Saloon?? |
|

I spotted different rear door window profiles. Maybe lower roof, straighter beltline below windows, and perhaps lower headlight position and sharper front wing edges (there's something different about the front but not quite sure what) - or I could be imagining these. A fairly subtle rebodying. |

The Sports Saloon is for going pheasant hunting; the Standard Saloon is for tea with the queen. I heard Lord Witheringstoke-Battersley once arrived at Buckingham in his Sports Saloon and was promptly stripped of his title. |

The Standard Steel Saloons were bodied, trimmed and finished by the factory at Crewe and were Pressed Steel construction, being sourced untrimmed from that company. They can be found on the MkVI, R-type, and Silver Dawn cars and a more modern design on the later Silver Cloud and S-types. There is one other variant, the Long Wheelbase Saloon, which is the factory body with an additional length of four inches, IIRC, between the B and C pillars, only found on the later cars. The word Standard is used because this was the majority product and could be ordered complete from the agent. Other cars are coachbuilt, i.e. steel or aluminium clad using frames of wood or composite construction, and are fitted outside the factory by the coachbuilding companies to bare but mechanically complete chassis supplied to them by the factory. The coachbuilders designed the bodies themselves, although having to observe guidelines concerning weight and dimensions otherwise the warranty for the chassis would be invalidated. A sports saloon may have a lower roofline, or only two doors, or a tuned engine or special trim to differentiate it further. There are many other body types, limousines, open drive limousines, town cars etc etc and some coachbuilders used the term sports saloon for one of their range of types. A sports saloon will not have a division between the front and rear compartments, hence the use of the alternative description owner/driver's saloon. Just to muddy the waters further, the Standard Steel Saloons are, in some articles, described as Sports Saloons. I hope that this has been useful. Anyone going pheasant hunting in a Sports Saloon is obviously foreign or nouveau riche, you go pheasant hunting in a Shooting Break. http://www.flickriver.com/photos/hiphopcarjunkie/6263935775/ -- Last edit: 2016-08-03 20:38:26 |

Naaah - pheasant hunting needs a Range Rover. But a shooting brake is perfect for peasant hunting. Convertibles can also be used if appropriately equipped ![[Image: mtx51705-271rr.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/mtx51705-271rr.jpg) |

This car was recently featured in a TV car show here called ' Beautés d'acier ' but i don,t know how old the show is ( the car was said to be in a museum and is on Link to "www.barrett-jackson.com" . Either the museum sold it in 2013 or bought it in 2013 but i don't think a museum would buy a vehicle in an auction In the show they also said that India was interested in getting the car back -- Last edit: 2016-08-03 16:12:25 |

Range Rover? How very gauche, no style at all, unless it's an original early 70s two door rubber mats job. These modern bejewelled things are fit only for parking outside Harrods. -- Last edit: 2016-08-03 18:17:15 |
