I was a bit puzzled when the rarity of this car was mentioned, as I know of four +4 DHCs here in the wilds of British Columbia. A closer look revealed that there is a distinction here that was not made clear during the programme. This car is a "SnobMog", the Four-Seater version of the DHC and a much rarer beast than the 2-seat version.
That had confused me too, you're right, they didn't make that clear. Every day's a school day. I see there is a dedicated website for them:
snobmog.comA search for "Snobmog" in
Morganville Registry brings up 50 examples but I suspect they have erroneously applied the label to a number of 2-seaters. The
Bangers & Cash model - chassis T3089 - is in the registry as belonging to a gentleman called Tony Pollard in Tynemouth and actually isn't marked as a Snobmog.
I still find something a little iffy about this.
