Cox - Advertising Manager}1/KW.7.3.40. the Corniche frame differs from the standard frame in that it has a flat cross-member over the rear tank and the frame is now thinner gauge. The rear axle is semi-floating and the standard rear axle fully-floating. The Corniche hand-brake is the same as B.V. but moved out to accomodate the increased body width.
