This is a landmaster chanracterised by no tail fins, sidevalve engine and flat bonnet, besides a different dash, launched in 54.

This is the Ambassador, launched in 57 upto 63. It grew fins and a humped bonnet, but lost side trim. In 63ish was launched the Mark 2, which is why the earlier amby was then referred to as a Mark 1, and so will I. The earliest mark 1 also came with the sidevalve engine and semaphores. Mark1 and some Mark 2s came with two seperate lights for tail and indicator. Later mark 2s had one piece units. Mark 2s also got small bumper guards. Later mark 1s lost the semaphores and side valve engine.
