Marque, year and coachbuilder for a point.

woodinsight · June 16, 2011, 04:33:56 AM

Easy point for an expert?

Tackitt · June 16, 2011, 05:45:50 PM

Is this a replica?

woodinsight · June 16, 2011, 05:54:01 PM

Definitely not a replica......

woodinsight · June 26, 2011, 02:26:48 AM

Pros?

Allemano · June 26, 2011, 03:59:32 AM

A Bentley of some sort?

woodinsight · June 26, 2011, 04:01:46 AM

Not Bentley - much more obscure although the coachbuilder is well-known

pnegyesi · June 26, 2011, 04:32:39 AM

Is it an Armstrong-Siddeley?

Even more obscure I'm afraid......

Allemano · June 26, 2011, 05:44:42 AM

Lammas Graham?

Wendax · June 26, 2011, 05:46:41 AM

Atalanta?

pnegyesi · June 26, 2011, 05:50:22 AM

Made prior to 2nd WW?

woodinsight · June 26, 2011, 06:03:53 AM

Yes - late 1930s

Apologies I missed your and Allemano's posts.
Atalanta it is. Who built the body and what year did it appear?
Locked for you until your next reply

Wendax · June 27, 2011, 02:45:34 AM

Not many choices for the year I guess. Atalanta appeared in 1937 with a four cylinder Gough engine. In 1938 the Atalanta was powered by the Lincoln Zephyr V12 engine. Production stopped in 1939. The body with its built-in headlights looks rather modern, so I guess 1939. Is the coachbuilder Abbotts of Farnham?

It is by Abbotts of Farnham but the year is 1938. The point is yours. Well done.
