Before everybody shouts "REPOST", it IS a repost of one of Joao's solved puzzles.
My reason for reposting it is that I have new information that changes the solution.
It was 'inspired' by a Saoutchik Delahaye but wasn't built by them.
There is a story behind this particular car.
I sent Joao a PM but he's travelling in Europe at the moment and I'm sure he won't mind me reposting one of his puzzles. The answer was almost correct but not quite if you see what I mean.
One point for who the coachbuilder was and you can restate the base car and year.

It is of course an Austin Sheerline that has coachwork inspired by Saoutchik (see introductory post) but for a point I need the coachbuilder.....
Locked for you as I think your answer yesterday to MJW #511 was meant for this puzzle?

That's the firm.
I have an interesting background to the story of this car that I'll post as soon as I can retrieve my files from my old computer.
Anyway SACO, well done and another point for you.

As promised the the information that prompted me to repost Joao's original puzzle on this car.
It comes from a letter addressed to a regular column in a well-known motoring magazine back in the 1970s and is posted here in full.
