When you first register a car you could call it what you want you Dutton a Dutton or an eagle a eagle
It could just as easily been called a dingbat special or whatever the builder fancied
Guessing is he bought an eagle an.called it a Dutton which it essentially is
Other "eagle" feature on the car will be the nearside vertical chassis member next to the alternator on a xflow car will be angle to provide clearance for the alternator adjustment,off side will be box section
Body fixings are mainly riv nutted into the frame

Nowt wrong there Andy :)

There are subtle differences  between the S4 and the P21, Rob knows what they are better than I do.

No doubt at some point we'll get a chance to climb all over it and go ohhh, ahhh....

Different to s4,top wishbone pivots on one single bolt through both wishbone bracket and a single large centre bush on the on the chassis

P21 Eagle, made after TWD sold the moulds and supposedly an improvement on the S4.

Does it say Eagle or Dutton on the V5? (not actually important, just being nosey, we have quite a few in the DOC)

that looks like S4 suspension......not too dissimilar from the Legerra.

That front suspension looks different to other Phaetons I have seen. It looks a bit neater than I expected.
