 The absence of bonnet louvres on the 8 hp model provided visual differentiation from the pre-war Flying Eight.The pre-war tourer body by Carbodies was dropped, being replaced by a new tourer body in the form of a simplified drophead coupe, with cut-down door tops, detachable sidescreens and a fixed windscreen frame.Estate cars were produced in 1948 only and were not on general sale.
