An enlarged V26 nodel, with essentially the same chassis. Styling usually perpendicular with no concession to fashion, of the type used by the Royal family.

This car was the property of a Lady in Waiting to the Queen Mother and was used in the procesion in 1937 at the Coranation of King George VI. It is fitted with an all aluminium body by Barker. Leather seats to the front and rear and occasional folding seats allow for a maximum of seven people.
