Is there some confusion over the car photos? Brian Long’s book on page 43 shows XHP 438 with a larger grille, sharper V and no Daimler badge and his text says that it retains its slightly deeper grille to this day.
However, the car shown on the grass with a bridge behind in his book and in November’s DM shows a car with a normal grille, badge and no registration plate. Brian Long’s text just says that it’s a hard top version of the SP250.
The November DM then shows a car with reg. XHP 438 but with a normal grille and a badge.
Are they the same car with a later modified grille? When did XHP 438 have it’s grille changed?
