1949 Earls Court Show (with AMC/48/4)

This car is unique having a folding windscreen and shown with tonneau cover :







The following photos come from the Lagonda 1949-1958 website.
These pictures show Frankie Howerd with Peggy Cochrane, they were appearing at the Bradford Alhambra Theatre and my father Tony employed them to open a motor show he had organised at the old Westgate showroom of Charles Syndey. (Malcolm Scatchard photos)



The car still has its show reg plates !





Folding windscreen clearly shown here.

Car wrongly said to be AMC/48/7 but folding windscreen gives a clue
as does different top more angled at back and removable side screens and quarterlights.

This can be clearly seen when compared with AMC/48/2 below. Also notice the square side window.
