One point on offer for the make and what it was based on
No response from the experts so let's see if the pros know
German?
Not German
It looks like a MkVI Bentley Special.
It's not that but it is based on a British car
I guess the car itself is British as well? Could it be on a Jaguar base?
Yes - the car is all British.
It's not Jaguar-based however.
The base was a popular sports car in its day.
MG?
Sorry, not MG
Ford-base probably.
Granada?
Triumph?
Neither Ford or Triumph based
A clue - this car shares its name with a famous pre-war single seater
Popular sportscar base, not MG or Triumph. Assuming the base is British. Austin-Healey?
Austin-Healey base is correct!
Invicta?
Sadly, not Invicta
ERA?
Not ERA, sorry
A British single seater?
HRG maybe ?
Not HRG
The car that shares the puzzle car's name was originally Italian and rebuilt in the UK as a single seater.
(That's a big clue)
Well, Multi-Union fits the clue
That's correct!
Well done, I thought this was going to end up in the BH.
This is a Multi-Union based on an Austin-Healey 3 litre.
Although the advert below states the year as 1957, I rather think this is the year of the car it was based on.
I don't know who built it or whether any others were built.
UDA22 is a 2660cc Austin Healey manufactured in 1955 (according to a well-known source) which would make it a four-cylinder. Even in 1957 when the 100-6 appeared, the 3 litre A-H was three years into the future.
Thanks Allan - the information is often typical of certain dealers - wrong!
I'll alter the date in the heading.
