Although there were “Series I” and “Series II” models changes in specification meant that in fact there were several sub-series with important changes. Very early cars retained the TC21/100 engine and drum brakes. Later Series I cars had the modified doors in aluminium and later Series II cars had the zf 5-speed gearbox. Park Ward coachwork was offered in saloon and drophead forms and bespoke models were produced by Graber Carosserie in Wichtrach, Switzerland. There were 784 Series I and 289 Series II cars produced.

Being the first drophead, it was probably Parkes’ car. It was also the Works demonstrator and regularly used for publicity photographs. Could this be the prototype drophead TD21 body built by Grabers and subsequently built up into a car? Possible clues are the very slightly extended headlamp ‘nose’, not seen on later cars and the higher air vents.
