Based around a cruciform-braced, box-section chassis equipped with all-round leaf-sprung suspension, Luvax shock absorbers and Dewandre servo-assisted Girling drum brakes, the newcomer was available with a choice of open and closed coachwork some of which was crafted in-house, but most six-light Limousines were bodied by Charlesworth. The four-speed pre-selector gearbox was allied to the marque�s fluid flywheel and employed a direct drive top gear. It is believed that only 710 examples were made up until 1940.
