Designers of vintage sports cars held widely differing ideas about "styling" - though they did not call it that - ranging from the extremely low 4 1/2 litre S-Type Invicta shown here, and the Aston Martins, to the relatively high Bentleys, Lagondas, 38/250 Mercedes-Benz and others. Not for nothing do members of the Aston Martin Owners Club refer to their counterparts in the Bentley Drivers' Club as suffering from vertigo!
