Exactly!
I had bentleybob in mind actually but thinking about it I think he moves amongst the upper echelons of AP society these days (the Pros!).
Well done.

A late Mark VI, B184MD, which is listed as a fixed head coupé, but the customer , A.W. Gemusens, possibly changed his mind as it was only delivered in June 1952, 6 months after B182MD. Also supposed to have been shown on the Motor Show in Geneva, but sooner in 1952, I'd think, than in 1953 as indicated in several books. Car acquired as restored in white was not to the liking of its current owner and subsequently re-restored in green and beige.
