I don't think this one has been posted as a puzzle before.
Name the builder of this small limousine, the base car and the number used in its construction for a point.
Experts?
Well it is an Austin Mini base, probably using three cars - but I can't find the builder yet.

So far so good - it's Mini-based using three cars.
I'll LOCK it for you to give you a chance to find the constructor.....
Giles, you have 24 hours left before I open it again.....
You can open it again - I haven't found the coach builder

Wood and Pickett?
Not by them - it's by an individual, not a coachbuilder......
Pros....
I don't know the builder either, but I can throw in all the information I have:
1979 Austin Mini Limousine. Personalized license plate from Ontario, Canada: "Royaly". Says "Mini Cooper" on the trunk lid. Auctioned at the Toronto International Sprint Classic Car Auction, 4/3/2004 for $4,280 Canadian. Lot Number 437, without reserve.

Thanks for that.
A clue - the builder's initials are B.R.
Another stalled puzzle that needs solving!
It's been established that the car comprises three Minis built by a Canadian with the initials B.R.
Just answer the following two questions to find the answer -
B - he shares his first name with a 20th century pop culture icon (now deceased)
R - his surname is the same as these (plural) geographical features that can be found in virtually every country
A point will be awarded only for the full name........

Billy Rivers?
Rivers is correct but the first name is not Billy (same number of letters though)
Locked for you to come up with the first name.
