What is this car for a point?  Please excuse the poor-quality photo.

This appears to be Dennis Owen-Rees' Aerees II which was based on a Fiat Topolino chassis and powered by a Wolseley straight-six engine. It was completed in 1947 and subsequently used for hillclimbing and speed events.

Can I ask in what country this was built please?

The builder is probably turning in his grave! The car was built in Wales by Dennis Owen-Reeves.

It still exists and I regularly use it in hill climbs and driving tests. Great fun to drive.

If I knew how to I'd add a recent photo. Or you could just google wolseley aerees to find one.

With the name Owen-Rees, I should have guessed the Welsh connection!  ;)

I hope I've just added 2 recent pictures. The bent grille is the result of an off at Goodwood a couple of years ago in heavy rain. A beautiful pirhouette until the bank got in the way.

As a Goodwood man I remember of 'off' quite well ukpo. Nice to see some colour photos and hope the car is still running well.
