Sunbar 2006-10-23 13:39	Looks to be Austin Westminster 'Farina' style to me
Sunbar 2006-10-23 18:13	My first thought was the Austin A99 Westminster (1959 to 1961) or A110 Westminster (MkI 1961 to 1964 - MkII 1964 to 1968). Although as this is a funeral car its probably the Vanden Plas Princess 3 Litre (1960 - 1961). Originally called Princess, but became a Vanden Plas Princess from May 1960, the Mk II model followed in late 1961, and Princess R derived from this in 1964. So Vanden Plas Princess 3 Litre unless anyone can see a detail that determines the model more closely?
Alexander 2006-10-23 23:14	I don't think it is a 'Big Farina', but rather the Austin A55 Cambridge Mk.2 [ADO9A] (1959-61). My reasons for this assumption are the following: The shape of the chrome surroundings of the rear light and the shape of the top end of the rear window. http://www.co-oc.org/A55mk2.gif It is a pity that in the first small picture the top edge of the rear window is covered by the actress. Could you capture another picture, please? This would disperse all doubts.
Sunbar 2006-10-23 23:49	Hope this helps Alexander. -- Last edit: 2006-10-23 23:58:46
Alexander 2006-10-23 23:58	Sunbar wrote Hope this helps Alexander. Thanks, but it is rather the rear screen edge corner I am interested in. It is sharp on the small Farinas: http://www.co-oc.org/Series%20V%20Oxford%20Rear.gif and round on the big ones: http://www.co-oc.org/6110%20Mk2%20Rear.gif I hope you know what I mean. If the actress in the first small picture just moves a little to the left it should be visible.
Sunbar 2006-10-24 00:01	The best I can get for the top corner of the C pillar. -- Last edit: 2006-10-24 00:01:58
Alexander 2006-10-24 00:04	Sorry, you got the wrong corner. Not rear door, but the rear window. Sorry to keep you busy!
Sunbar 2006-10-24 00:07	Sharp and not rounded - will post it later but must go now.
Alexander 2006-10-24 00:09	Perfect, then it is the Austin!
Alexander 2006-10-24 00:13	Here is a nice shot for comparison:
Sunbar 2006-10-24 00:41	For confirmation the sharp corner.
