A pre-War original, or a post-War pastiche? (I'm favouring the latter!).

You'd be correct in thinking this is a post war pastiche.
I don't know the builder, only the marque and model it was based on

I found it as the Hotchkiss Mont Ventoux Special. The chassis is a 1934 Hotchkiss 615 with 1936 Hotchkiss 686GS engine, gearbox, axles, brakes and all running gear.
