One of only 39 light tourers built designed to have a total weight of 1 ton 9 cwt. With open coachwork by Vanden Plas, full valance wings and a long-range fuel tank, they were a family touring car. Chassis 1235 was delivered new to Birmingham in July 1926. The service records show the car was very much enjoyed before a rebuild was embarked on in 1938. The war intervened and the rebuild was only completed 28 years later. More recently 1235 was upgraded to a Speed Model specification.
