It's the Pennine model by Woodall Nicholson. The rest would be an Eeny, meeny, miny, moe situation to me, so I hand over the mic to @dsl for the Wolseley-Austin-Vanden Plas-ADO details. Edit: Let's have a 1965 advertisement for documentation: ![]() -- Last edit: 2021-04-06 14:55:25 |

The twin trim strips suggest A60, but the hearse conversion removes a lot of the things I would normally look for. I don’t think it’s a big Farina because the wheels don’t look chunky enough. -- Last edit: 2021-04-06 13:50:47 |

Confirmed as 1969 Austin A60 Cambridge Hearse by Woodall Nicholson (YUL 241), used as a working hearse and filmwork, including this series. One of only 2 known survivors, the other being HEY 770F. Both appeared together in an episode of "The Crown" covering the 1966 Aberfan disaster - we don't have these appearances listed, but lots of location pics online of both with some other interesting hearses: YUL 241 apparently also appeared in something Monty Python - no further detail exactly what, but we don't seem to have it. |
