This model featured a powerful 4.5-liter six-cylinder engine, producing approximately 110 horsepower, which gave it strong performance for a grand touring car of its time. The NLC designation referred to the new low chassis design, which provided better handling and a sportier profile compared to earlier Invicta models.

The drop head coupe style featured a folding convertible roof, adding an element of versatility to the car’s design, making it both stylish and suitable for various driving conditions.
