I'm sure this car may look familiar but what car is lurking underneath?
Who made the body?
One point puzzle.

That's correct.
Any idea what chassis it's based on?
I'll lock it for you until your next reply.....

Let's start with the most obvious – Jaguar?

Not a Jaguar - a lighter and smaller car than that....

Not a J.A.G. (John A. Griffiths) chassis then?
I was sure this was one of these until you said it was British...!:

The chassis is pre-WWII

Dick Shattock's RGS Atalanta cars were so-called because he used Atalanta chassis, or chassis parts.  The bodies were just RGS not RGS Atalanta.
The Atalanta chassis looked like this:


That one has a supercharged Gough engine which Shattock wouldn't have used. I remember a Jaguar-engined sports-racer, but not this car which looks as if it may have had a Bristol engine.
Opinionated but sometimes wrong
