Hi,
As far as I am aware there was always a 'Standard' and a 'de Luxe' version of most models. The Fleet or 'Commercial Traveller' version had Rexine upholstery, no sunroof, one sun vizor and no bumpers. I think the Fleet cars were not sold singly but only on contract terms to commercial buyers.
Probably because of heavy use, very few will have survived.

Hi thanks for the reply, the one I have seen for sale has no sunroof, chrome bumpers, and two sun visors so could probably have had it's sunroof sealed at some time. Who knows so will give that one a miss. Regards Mike

The Feb 1937 catalogue says "The fixed head saloon has seats and squabs upholstered in best leather, and is without items marked out with an asterisk"

Asterisked items include some paint colours and:- "flush fitting sunshine roof, rope pulls, sun visors, bumpers front and rear"
