Adding to Mark O's point, the idea of these Retroautos mid-month anniversary stories is to explore those car models which have been somewhat overlooked and showcase them. I have two good ones to finish off 2019. Regarding your preference for the 1947 Vanguard, BillW41, I have to say I prefer the Rover. The lack of a defined boot on the Vanguard, rectified in 1953, always made them look like a little unfinished to me. That said, if you stand back from one now they have a similar shape to most current SUVs. Better than a Rolls, too?
