What was the last UK car sold with a side-hnged bonnet?

its a bus, and its one of the 4 original prototypes, rather then a production example, but RML3 from 1958 does (uniquely for a Routemaster) have a side hinged bonnet :)

Prototype AEC Routemaster RML3 (SLT 58), with its unique original front restored (including side-hinged bonnet unlike standard RMs) in Regent Street as part of the unique 2014 'London Bus Cavalcade' event, 22 June 2014

And Morgan of course - even now? But the J72 may be the last ''new car" as the Morgans are existing models continued? 😆

Would you rather drive this or have a tramp shit in your mouth? It's more 50/50 than it should be

How often do you change your sister?

I think I meant current 2cv, which belongs to my sister. I’d change her for someone less stressful certainly

Wolseley 4/50 and 6/80 up until 1954, I believe.

The normal Regent V sold to the provinces had a side opening bonnet far later than that. Southamptons last one was F reg but I'm sure I've seen some on a G.

Wow, can't wait to see his YT channel.

"SInce then the car has been subject to a light overhaul, has been featured on my own Youtube channel "All things Alex" in which I set about cleaning out the car, removing clutter and belongings.

I then set about getting it to run and drive. To date, the following parts/work has been carried out:

New Battery...

Interior cleaned and hoovered out."

Wasn't the Estelle side-hinged? Yes I know it's the 'boot' and the engine is in the rear. I'm just trying to win on a technicality.

If we're being pedantic, the Rover P3, Wolseley 6/80, Morgan 4/4 etc.  are centre hinged.
