Hi

The convertible victoria was built in 1940, a photo of one is in a Rollson article by Hugo Pfau in an old Cars & Parts magazine. A left-over convertible victoria body was acquired by J.S. Inskip after the war, modified and mounted on a postwar Roll-Royce Silver Wraith chassis....its not a nice aesthetic match-up.

The 1940 Sport Sedan pictured is a glorious automobile, so glad it survives and has been restored. Whether a 1941 version every saw the light of day is unknown

Two 1940 Sunair sport sedans were built, one a knotchback, 3-box format, the other a fastback. The latter survives, the car Flackmaster notes as needing a new owner. Have never seen photos of any 1941 versions built.

The convertible sedan design looks nice except where the diving beltline results in a very uncomfortable rear doorhandle placement.
