Is this a real functioning car? Looks like a scale (or full-scale) model...

[Otto Puzzell]

Yep - a real car.

[Otto Puzzell]

Built by a well-known constructor of competition components and cars, this example was constructed and finished to promote the products of another automotive supplier.

[Otto Puzzell]

This car's eye-catching appearance is a clue to the supplier it was intended to promote, versus the builder / supplier of the "go" parts.

[Otto Puzzell]

Moving this one upstairs...

Is it a "Mooneyes" or "Jocko" streamliner?

[Otto Puzzell]

No sir.

[SeaLion]

Is it a electric car, perhaps built for a supplier of tools?

[Otto Puzzell]

Nope, not electric. The presenter was a supplier of something that is visible in the picture.

[SeaLion]

There are some oval shaped "airships" in the background ...

[Otto Puzzell]

The visible clue is on the car.

Alexander Scott checks his bank account balance...

[Ray B.]

If this a clue, I (as a foreigner?) completely missed it. I find a scottish poet, an american photographer, a real estate agent, an artist specialized in bondage, and a character played by Bill Cosby...

[Otto Puzzell]

If this a clue...

It is!

Still haven't found the right Scott, but any relation with British Petroleum?

The right Scott was identified in your previous post.

It hasn't, by any chance, got anything to do with Pirelli?

[Otto Puzzell]

It hasn't, by any chance, got anything to do with Pirelli?

To my knowledge, no.

[Ray B.]

I am getting short of ideas, but let's try this:
- Any relation with Ford ?
- Any relation with Jell-O ? (who isn't much of an automotive sipplier, though)

[Otto Puzzell]

Jello is less connected than Ford, but not completely unconnected.

[SeaLion]

Is Hoover (as in vacuum-cleaners) a scottish firm? And is this an Hoover car perhaps?

[Otto Puzzell]

And is this an Hoover car perhaps?

No sir.
