Default Model A found in Afghanistan !!
Just thought that I'd share these photos of a Model A in Afghanistan which apparently one time belonged to King Amanullah (ruler from 1919-1929). Several years ago the Taliban tried to take it to Pakistan to sell it, but it was stopped at the border and returned to the National Museum in Kabul where it is currently located:

Dec 2001

Nope not a Hispano but rather a 1926 Rolls Royce Phantom 1 by Barker 60YC.
