The DHC also had wind-up windows, a windshield that was integral to the body
and a different, more "saloon-like," dashboard. Overall the trim, extra
weight, etc., made it more of a touring car than the sports car of the
roadster. The DHC is pretty rare, I saw one at the Barrett-Jackson auction
this year that had belonged to some movie celebrity. You can look it up on the
B-J website for a picture and the selling price.
