I couldn't resist posting this one. Easy of course but worth drawing your attention to it.
I took the photo back in 1976 and still marvel at the sheer size of this drophead coupe.
Look at the size of those wheels!

Anyway identify the make, model and coachbuilder for a point.

I'm surprised no Rookie gained an easy point with this one.
Easy for an Expert then....

Yes I realise that.
Do you know what the original body was and when the Corsica body replaced it?
I thought it may have been a Martin Walter Saloon originally.....
