This is a remarkable photo. The farthest reaches of the carpet are well exposed, yet nothing else in the photo (below the windshield) is badly overexposed. That's hard to do. They've even driven light down into the floorboard under the clutch pedal!

Agreed. They are quite popular as wedding cars, and my wife and I hired one in ours.

It's a Daimler DS 420 just like the Queen Mum kept in the HRH garage. (I think)
