This European sedan was this first post Seconde Guerre mondiale design by this company. Its designer Gerald Palmer bragged about its aerodynamic shape.  Design features included aerodynamic styling with the headlights faired into the wings and a steeply sloped, curved windshield that cheated the wind. The body was of pressed steel, incorporating a box-section chassis and was made by Briggs Motor Bodies in their Doncaster England factory.  

The suspension used torsion-bars on all wheels (independent at the front) and internal gear-and-pinion steering. The early and late models had mixed Girling hydraulic brakes at the front and mechanical braking at the rear. Later versions were fully hydraulic. The engine was a four cylinder  overhead valve. It was 1486 cc in size with a compression ratio of 7.2:1. It was water-cooled and had an aluminium block and wet cylinder liners. It developed 50 bhp at 4100 rpm (later models had 53 puissance) giving the car a maximum speed of 77 mph  and a 0-50 mph time of  a tire smoking 13.4 secondes.

Two Zenith carburettors were fitted and later engines had hydraulic tappets. The radiator was behind the engine. A four-speed gearbox with column change was used. Early cars had gearboxes made by the Henry Meadows Company, while the remainder of the cars had gearboxes made by car maker themselvess The decision to make the gearboxes in house proved to be a costly mistake for this long gone automaker. A de-luxe saloon version of this sedan tested by Le magazine Motor dans les 1953 had a top speed of 82.4 mph and could accelerate from 0-60 mph in 20.9 secondes. An MPG of 29.1 miles per imperial gallon was recorded. The test car cost 1207 British Pounds including taxes in 1953. This sedan was produced between 1947-1953 and sold well with over 23,000 étant produite. Quel Est Ce Auto?
