Certainly a great car for its time, with rack and pinion steering and torsion bar suspension. They had real reliability problems with engine and gearbox, not really sorted until the Series III from 1952, so maybe the Whitely was a wiser choice, DrJohn. I was talking to an enthusiast years ago who said they had an R&D department of 20,000 people - the owners! This ad from 1946 shows how advanced they were - it was even announced in 1945, but production didn't get underway until 1947.
