This looks like one of the Docker Daimlers from the early 1950's. Is this the "Silver Flash"?

I think that the car was built on a Daimler 3-litre Regency chassis, coachbuilt and named "Silver Flash" for Sir Bernard and Lady (Norah) Docker.

It's important to mention that this was coachbuilt by Hooper, which should be included in the Solved title. ;)
