ANYONE FOUND GIVING ANSWERS GLEANED BY USING GOOGLE SEARCH BY IMAGE MAY BE BANNED FOR AN INDETERMINATE PERIOD!
Experts?
German ? Veritas ?
Front lights and the fender's shape remember me the Ford Consul mkI, but it had front engine...and there is no grille...perhaps a prototype?

Only 1 question at once don't forget!
It's not German, ergo it can't be a Veritas either..

It is a prototype, yes, but there's no Ford connection.
any relation with powerdrive?
Panhard-dyna?
Is it european?
Autobleu?
There could be a small hint of steering wheel on the left side of the photo.
So British then?

..because this is what it is, yes, the Jowett Javelin prototype with ERA-tuned mechanics.
But I'd love to know how you managed to find that before I award the point? PM me if you like!
At first I thought it may be Standard Vanguard variant (because of the shape of the fenders and the V windscreen, but then I remembrered the Jowett Javelin had a similar look) so I googled Jowett prototype and found it from there I think.
I am old enough to have seen Jowetts on the street when I lived in England in the early 60's as a kid (they were old bangers then)
BTW I am a retired car designer, so I look at shapes and anylise them out of habit.
If you think I am a cheating , dont bother to give me the point, I just like remembering the cars and finding out about the ones I dont know. :)
Thanks Wayne.
I'm happy to give you the point; you clearly know plenty..
Well done.
I am looking for more pictures of this car. If you have them please put them on autopuzzles.

I wish I had.
I've only been able to find this one photo of it on just one location on the entire Internet; that's why I thought it would be a real teaser and take a lot of solving. But WayneB is too much of an Expert for that!

This picture appeared in an Autpuzzles article about Jowetts.
It does and I saw that, but it's not the same!
Is it just a rendering?
The chassis:
Hi,
I have a drawing and just found a photo which shows a totally different chassis to the above, note that this car is not a prototype Javelin, that car did not have a separate chassis.
Will email shortly
Cheers
Alan ;D

Sorry, you're right. I chose the wrong picture showing a Rover P4 chassis. Picture changed.
What's the brand and model designation of this car? One point awaits...
a Cemsa f 11
Its Minerva Brother?
Movin on up
British base?
Jowett-Era Javelin 1949.
Its an illustration of the 1950 prototype.
Lanchester?
Is it a planned Tatra model, perhaps from the T600 base?
