I hope this is not a repost but I couldn't find it on a search.
Identify the make, model and coachbuilder for a point.

I've just been informed that this is indeed a repost.
I'll therefore keep it open for the Rookies to have a go before I merge it.......

Yes, now we're getting somewhere....
I'll LOCK it for you until your next reply only to confirm the coachbuilder and to add the base car.
Don't forget I need both for the point so take your time.....

That's a correct guess.....
......the designer and the coachbuilder is Serra.
I'll LOCK it for you one more time only to come up with the make of British car it's based on.

Title: Barrett's #367
Post by: barrett on December 22, 2013, 11:18:42 AM
One for the experts. What car is this and who built the body?
Title: Re: Barrett's #367
Post by: mekubb on December 22, 2013, 04:53:13 PM
French ? Simca ?
Title: Re: Barrett's #367
Post by: luisps on December 22, 2013, 05:37:00 PM
It looks as the Morgan Plus 4 re-bodied by Serra, built in 1955 and rebodied in 1956.

Yes, it looks a repost, but the picture is new and a lot better, I've seen that car in the Auto Retro exhibition last 7th of December in Barcelona, and took several pictures of it, this was the reason to recognize it immediately.
Title: Re: Barrett's #367
Post by: Carnut on December 29, 2013, 07:21:13 AM
I'll merge this one then?
Title: Re: Barrett's #367
Post by: luisps on December 29, 2013, 05:37:03 PM
Yes, is correct to be merged, but in any case I believe to be worty with a point as the picture from the rear doesn't appears in the previous puzzle...

OK, that's really up to Barrett as it's his puzzle so we'll wait for him to respond then I'll merge it afterwards.

Do it's any reason to keep this puzzle open?

It's due to be merged but it's barrett's decision regarding the point hence have left it for him to deal with on his (eventual!) return.
If he doesn't return in the next 2 or 3 weeks I'll decide and sort it out, but that is a bit of a last resort and much prefer the puzzle owner to do it if possible.

Post by: Carnut on February 25, 2014, 04:03:44 AM
It looks like Barrett has abandoned his puzzles again, although he does still log in regularly.
I'm therefore awarding luisps a point for this one and merging it.
