I don't think this is a repost......
Identify the make, year and coachbuilder.

Make is correct but it is not by Spohn and the date is a few years out.

1936?

1935?

Yes!
I'll LOCK it for you but just until your next reply only to guess the coachbuilder.

FrontMan · November 17, 2012, 04:44:21 PM

Awe!....I'm moving house and all my reference material is unavailable. Fernandez et Darrin?

FrontMan · November 18, 2012, 02:54:25 PM

Cancel F&D, more likely Gaston Grummer!

woodinsight · November 19, 2012, 11:59:39 AM

Neither Fernandez & Darrin or Gaston Grummer.
The coachbuilder is not French.
I'll keep it locked for you for one more try.....
I sympathise with you regarding your reference material - I have the same problem at the moment.

Voll und Ruhrbeck?

Voll und Ruhrbeck?

Good guess but it's not that one.....(it is two names though)

FrontMan · November 20, 2012, 11:07:27 AM

I thought it was too ugly to be Erdmann & Rossi.

You're correct there - too ugly to be an Erdmann & Rossi
I have to OPEN it again
