The Experts section is looking a bit depleted so here's a couple more to keep it topped up.
What car is this? What engine did it use? When was it built? Who built the bodywork?
One point on offer.
(apologies for the poor image)
Moving up
French?
Not French
German?
Not German but it is European
British?
Maybe a modified Allard?
It is British but not an Allard
Time for a hint or two -
The car is entirely British.
Chassis and engine are from different manufacturers and the body is in aluminium.

Cooper-Jaguar ?
Not Cooper-Jaguar - the car is smaller than that
Let's see if I am getting warm.
Are we looking at an Abbott body on a Jowett chassis with an English Ford motor?

Not that. The chassis maker was mostly involved with sports racing cars in the 1950s/1960s.
Time for a small clue -
Although the car is British the chassis constructor has a birth link to a southwestern European country
Tojeiro
It can't be Tojiero. I have already considered him. ;)

Yes, it's a Tojeiro.
Now I need the name of the company who built the bodywork.
I'll lock it for you until your next reply (within 24 hours)
I've absolutely no idea. - Maurice Gomm?
(if I'm wrong, don't bother locking it)
I guess the lock is off with this reply ;D
The body is by Williams & Pritchard.
Crikey, I'll have to see if I can scrape up £150..!
You'd think they'd be able to spell John's surname right though..
Wendax wins the point.
That's exactly the source/information I have.
>:( :doh: Dammit! The only two British sports car builders I know so I tossed up and guessed wrong. :taz:
Better luck next time D-Type.
I'll be posting some puzzles in the near future that should be up your street.
