Jurowla,
There is a photograph of your old family car in the Palawan book on The Bristol Aeroplane Company Car Division, it is in the company of a Touring bodied example and can be found on pages 106 and 107, in the photograph the caption refers to the car which is displaying its original registration number LHU613 as the first 401 prototype. This is confirmed by the chassis ledger reproduced in the book and this must therefore be the first car incorporating the refinements to the design made by Dudley Hobbs and his colleagues.
Geoff.
