The record

The 800 kept the 80’s body with a rear seat, heater and instruments that the market wanted; the 800A brought the V8 and the six and new front sheet metal, the 800B a facelift before the Scout II. The Sportop of 1966–68 with its sloping fibreglass or canvas rear roof was the sporting version, the Aristocrat of 1969 the luxury one.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
