Interesting once you look at the differences between the wartime body and the MK1. Stand-out things are the bulged boot/trunk on the later car and the cloth roof versus solid with sun-roof as well as single front seat for military and individual for the MK1. I am sure there are other differences.

Hi Lang,
I think the early Snipe staff cars had individual front seats. The boot was not all that large once the spare 900-13 was in place. For a large car, I found it had less room for the driver than a Mini ! The steering wheel is adjustable, on splines and with it pushed right in and the seat right back I still found it cramped. Other that it rides well with plenty of power, considering the same engine powered the 8 ton Humber armoured car.

regards, Richard
