INVICTA 4½-LITRE S-TYPE

Sports tourer, various specials.

The classic ingredients transformed from fast top-gear tourer into sports car, with low radiator, underslung rear frame, hypoid final drive, and at least 115bhp under the bonnet (more on later cars). A 3.61 rear axle spells 60 at 2000rpm and 95mph comes in standard form. Possibly as few as 50 made: nobody's ever contradicted the official statistics. Very desirable indeed, and seldom on the market.
