The Mark I saloon is essentially the same as the 1940 model because wartime manufacturing priorities allowed
very little development. The minor changes are described in the 1958 edition of "Glass's Car Check Book" :
an anti-sway bar, cone guides for starting handle, cast iron brake drums and jack brackets
incorporated in bumper over-riders. Early Mark I models had a vertical air cleaner while later
ones were horizontal. A coupe was added in May 1946. Serial number started at 1710001 for the saloon.
The pictures and captions below are taken from the "1946 Model Owner's Handbook" and Workshop Manual.
