| Triumph Renown? |

| Not a Triumph Renown...  La porte avant s'ouvre dans l'autre sens et la partie ouvrante du coffre n'est pas bombée. De plus, il ne semble pas y avoir de vitre de custode. -- Last edit: 2007-06-19 12:38:51 |

| All I can think is that its similar to a Rolls Royce Silver Dawn? |
2007-06-19 14:13
| It doesn't match with a RR Siver Dawn (shape of the rear side window, rear bumpers).. it seems not to be a Triumph Renown (Limousine) neither (round shape of the boot, miss of the C-pillar window) , though rims are maching quite well with Triumph , Could it be a 1800 Sedan (different from 'Renown' with 4 lateral windows)?...but I've no pics of this last one , and don't how it looked like exactly -- Last edit: 2007-06-19 14:15:49 |

| C'est la même voiture. Elle fut d'abord commercialisée sous le nom de "Town and Country", puis "1800" et enfin "Renown". |

| ...agreed. For all that I can find the extra window in the 'C' pillar was used in the 1800 and Renown being the same body. |

| Do we definitely agree that the front doors are front-hinged? I cannot be sure but I think so, unless the explosion? has blown it completely off. Any comments? This would be an important difference for some car models. |

| I'd think of an Austin A 110 or A 125 Sheerline... |

| I'm also thinking A125 sheerline |
2007-06-19 18:21
| Agreed...... I never considered the Austins but the doors are right, the hub-caps and the rear design including the boot and C pillar. |

| Doors look right: http://www.motorbase.com/profiles/vehicle/picture.ehtml?i=274;p=-899233351 |

| Austin A125 Sheerline is agreed then. |
2007-06-19 20:46
| Yes, agreed. Developed as 'Austin 25' it was launched in February 1947 as the 'Austin A110 Sheerline' with a 3.5 litre, 110 bhp engine and upgraded to the 'Austin A125 Sheerline' in November 1947 with a 4 litre, 125 bhp engine. That way it was produced until August 1954. Being the short-wheelbase version the model code is [DS1]. |
