Hmm, what's a "Top Hat"??
Somewhat debatable! Certainly the early R-type saloon, also once widely used for the later RK.
Ignore urban myths about Austin trying to sell to the gentry!
30-plus years ago, hardly anyone was aware of the Works' letter classifications and these nicknames were much more common - SWB Box (RL/RM), 3-speed Box (RN), 4-speed Box (RP) and so on.
