Not Morris.

Wolseley ?

[Djetset]

Not Wolseley.

[oko94]

Austin ?

[Djetset]

Not Austin.

[oko94]

Riley ?

[Djetset]

Not a Riley.

[oko94]

It can only be an MG then. So is it an ERA proposal built by MG ?

[Djetset]

Sorry, but it's not MG either!  The marque has a strong BMC/BLMC/BL/Leyland connection.

[oko94]

Do you mean that the brand in question has never belonged to the BMC/BLMC/whatever group, but has cooperated with that group ?

[Djetset]

Both; it has co-operated, and also formed part of the various BMC/BL groups.  Now that might be a clue!

[oko94]

Healey ?

[Djetset]

Not Healey, but you are now thinking along the right lines...

[oko94]

Vanden Plas ?

[Djetset]

Jackpot!  Yes, this unusual car (model) was built by Vanden Plas.  Now locked to you to finish off the puzzle by answering the other part of the question.  Good luck.

[oko94]

ERA proposal built by Vanden Plas ?

[Djetset]

No, not an ERA proposal.

[oko94]

You can unlock, I'm unable to find any information about this project.

[Djetset]

OK, thank you oko, I will.  Keep on trying though.

[Djetset]

I suspect the Pros have been itching to get their hands on this one for a while now, so go ahead...  We now know it was built by Vanden Plas, but who designed it?

[oko94]

David Hodkin ?

[Djetset]

Not David Hodkin.

[Hiawatha]

John Bradley?

[Djetset]

Not John Bradley.

Roland Fox?
