Don't agree about the Spridget base, but think it may be based on another BMC model.

barrett · June 16, 2010, 06:31:32 AM

looking again you might be right, it seems slightly long for a spridget...

maybe MGB based?

Quiller · August 01, 2010, 06:19:59 PM

After some delay, here's my response!
Not anything to do with Seat
Not Spridget based, nor MGB
Any further ideas...?

Welcome back!

From the UK?

Carnut · August 02, 2010, 06:36:08 AM

Anything to do with Turner?

Quiller · August 02, 2010, 10:01:30 AM

Yes it's from the UK but nothing to do with Turner ...

Carnut · August 02, 2010, 10:19:46 AM

BMC engine?

Quiller · August 02, 2010, 12:09:42 PM

No, not BMC

Otto Puzzell · August 03, 2010, 03:18:02 AM

A fiberglass special, based upon Ford mechanicals?

Quiller · August 04, 2010, 12:44:38 PM

Not fibreglass and not Ford-engined ...

Otto Puzzell · August 05, 2010, 05:30:17 AM

A hint of Sunbeam at the front...

Carnut · August 05, 2010, 08:57:33 AM

Aluminium bodywork by Williams & Pritchard?

woodinsight · August 05, 2010, 01:53:00 PM

Singer-based with a one-off body?

Quiller · August 05, 2010, 03:22:38 PM

Not sure if the body was built in-house by the company concerned, or if it was farmed out, but it's the marque name I'm after.
No Singer or Sunbeam connection that I'm aware of ...

barrett · August 05, 2010, 03:52:42 PM

A long shot.... could it be the prototype Gilbern GT?

Quiller · August 05, 2010, 06:01:45 PM

Not a Gilbern ...

Carnut · August 05, 2010, 06:56:46 PM

Emery?

Quiller · August 05, 2010, 08:01:42 PM

Nope, not Emery

barrett · August 06, 2010, 01:53:42 AM

From a marque that made other models, or was this their only car-making foray?

Carnut · August 06, 2010, 04:46:02 AM

Could it be something to do with Triumph?
Wheelbase looks distinctly Spitfire and that bonnet looks a bit Triumph-ish too, the way it opens..
