NigelG Posted May 9, 2022 Share #17445 Posted May 9, 2022 I would have staked my money with John on an 1955 Continental Type-R by H.J.Mulliner based on the way the front quarter lights affect the 3/4 front view as they are inset from the main frame which looks a little odd/noticeable from this angle. They also made a 1956 S-1 fastback coupe - but I’m not sure the glass is exactly the same 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hektor Posted May 9, 2022 Share #17446 Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) Nothing is interchangeable between the Mulliner bodied R Continental and the Mulliner bodied S1 Continental. I have had both. Here is the subject car (with rare manual gearbox) in the early eighties on the The Boulevard at Kew (Melbourne), an excellent fun driving road until the Fun Police littered it with speed-bumps and roundabouts. A nicely balanced car which drifted beautifully. The Bikies couldn't get past. Welcome, dear visitor!

Rona!d Posted May 10, 2022 Share #17447 Posted May 10, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Most S1 coupes were Mulliner but some were made by other coachbuilders and looked different (Park Ward, James Young made 2-door Saloons, Graber a convertible, Hooker the "Docker Daimler style", Freestone & Webb some saloons and maybe one coupe). so that had to be mentioned. I like them a lot, also the R-type Continentals. Very nice car, hektor! Nigel your turn! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
