Okay, last one from me for a while.
Marque, model and coachbuilder for a point.

Very cool!

I wish I had a photo of how it used to be, but that's all I've got at the moment.

Alvis? TD 21? Coachwork by Graber?

It's a Jupiter, and I believe the coachwork is by J.J Armstrong

That's the car!
Unfortunately it's the only image I have seen but there must be others out there somewhere.
Well done barratt!

This is the first time I've seen this one, no images online (and I spent a LOT of time looking, as you well know...). I guess this was in the Scottish farm collection which contained several coachbuilt Jupiters and rare Jowetts, including the CD pick-up. I know some of the cars were rescued and have since been restored (I think the Lascelles Radford was also there at the same time), so hopefuly this is sitting in someone's barn awaiting resurrection

I was pretty sure it was a Jupiter - from the water pump if nothing else - hence my comment re Barrett in reply 3!

Found a period pic!

Wow, that's a great find!
Well done, now we know what it looked like originally.
