Indeed! Well done, a point for you. There is very little on the net about these vehicles, so it is not easy to find.

I suppose you're right, but the only source I found described it with the complete name. I'd like if you could PM me a link where I could find some more info.

Ok, so I modify the title supposing the Surrey is the open version.
