Well I am getting confused now Andy!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ...

Whether they are early cars or later V8s with the built in fog lamps, the easiest way to tell a coupe from a saloon is that the coupe has a parallel quarter light & the saloon has a triangular quarter light. Roof lines on a coupe are lower at the back but are only obvious when the two cars are next to each other.  :y  :y

Can't see why you'd want a 35 cwt car to be able to be flung around corners.  ;)

to be honest p5 handles worse than p6 yet p6 was meant to replace the p5 but did'nt? and P6 first car to win a safety award due to inbuilt safety features

This is how the P6 looked in 1958 – David Bache had already decided on the sloping roofline and distinctive window contours. The front end would come under serious scrutiny, not least from upper management.

Yes but then came T4 turbine-front wheel drive did 150mph on test track  :y This is nearest for runner to P6-bodywise
