The twin Velox and upmarket Cresta models replaced the very similar PA Velox, Cresta model of 1957-60.

Now with a larger 2651cc engine with wedge shaped combustion chambers. The same basic styling but with larger wheels and tail fins, and new grilles.

Mechanically lower geared steering, dual overdrive and Hydramatic available and either servo assisted front disc brakes or full servo assisted drum brakes

The Estates were purchased from the main agent and then sent to Friary of Basingstole for conversion. It was recently stated that there are only 16 remaining
