The car was designed with how the British saw the wants of the US market, but while quite luxurious it was not a success. Prior to release it was tested at Indianapolis in an effort to impress the US motoring press. It was powered by a 2.6 litre four-cylinder engine that would find its way into the Austin-Healey 100.
