Spotted today Apley, between Bridgnorth & Telford, by one of my car club mates. Is this the only one with this roof detail?

It seems to be the Sedanca, so yes - it is the only one with that roof detail!

What surprises me is how different the front is, and it makes me curious as to why they would have changed the front end so much. No wonder it needs two bonnet struts - it must be significantly heavier than the bonnet of a standard car, which in itself is weighty enough...

Power to the people!

That's an early pre-airflow model, with the little oval front lights.

It'll be a '63 early '64 super with that trim, even with the front piece missing, and well patinated. Age related plate I would say as not many A suffixes released Foxy :wink:
