I doubt if a photo exists of this car......
For one point name the base car (easy), model, year and coachbuilder (not so easy).

Time for a clue on this one......
The coachbuilder is British and the number of letters in the coachbuilders name is between three and seven.......

Can you give me an approximate year so that I can tie this one up and give you the point.
LOCKED for RayTR

Most likely around 1949, since that's when Epps folded after a bit of business unpleasantness.

Thanks Ray.
I had it as 1947 although I think that may have been when it was designed.
Your information is good enough for me to add a point to your score - you're almost at the 100 mark - well done!
