The design was built in 4 examples only, 1 on a MkVI, and the remaining 3 on R-type chassis, of which only 1 example was lhd, B52LRT. If it is agreed as the HJM coachwork then it can be no other car. If no-one comes up with a more convincing identification I shall post it in 24 hrs. -- Last edit: 2022-08-11 12:33:40
