Launched at the Motor Show in October 1938, the Eight Series E was a completely new design, replacing that used for the 1935/Series 1/Series 2
Eight models. As with many other vehicles, production ceased
during the war and recommenced in September 1945. Post war
only the saloon versions were produced.
