There are one or two points which might be of interest to a Coachbuilder in the body but probably do not interest us very much. The chief ones which I noticed are that the doors consist of an aluminium casting with simply a metal panel fastened on, also the door frames and posts form another aluminium casting.

The wheel base is 138" and the track 58". Wood wheels
