Its the one that came with the last 17 figure, Han Solo fits in the back and can be seen through it.
The one that came with Slave 1 was slightly smaller and non transparent.

But, I can't look @ it without thinking of John Shuttleworth singing "Austin Ambassador Y reg", due to the cars it transporting.
My Dad used to drive an Austin Princess, very similar shape to the Ambassador .... havent seen one of those about for years !

we had an Austin Princess when i was a kid, too. Dad named it 'Diana' we sold it to a bloke down the road who ended up (we think) torching it for the insurance.

We had an Ambassador, took it to France where the suspension went on one side!
Ended up with everyone sitting on the other side of the car to even it out, happy days

Every one knocks B.L. cars of the 70's, correctly, for poor build quality but it was the last time that the English motor industry tried to design modern & different looking cars...the Rover 3500 is still a handsome car & the Jag @ the start of this advert has absolutely stunningly good looks..

For some reason I passed on getting that Han Solo I don't know why.

fun fact, Weyland-Yutani -the Company in the Alien movies- was meant to be a merger of Leyland and Toyota...
