The Series III Super Snipe quietly made British motoring history — it was the first British car built with two pairs of headlights.
Just after launch, a Super Snipe was driven from Oslo to Lisbon through fifteen countries in under four days, with Stirling Moss behind the wheel for part of the run.
The postwar Super Snipe's independent front suspension wasn't new even in 1948 — it dated back to 1935, carried over with almost twice the leaf springs.
Built by dropping the big Pullman's four-litre six into the smaller Snipe's chassis — the mashup hit 79 mph, properly quick for 1938.
