All British.

I'm surprised nobody has tried this one. I've just checked and the photos are still available on Google.

It's a British-built special. and not as old as it looks.

No Rover content as far as I know.

Jaguar ?

It is Jaguar-engined. I will LOCK the puzzle for 24 hours for you.

You are on the right track. Not a Riley. Still locked.

Postwar chassis ?

Postwar chassis ?

This chassis is post-war, although the manufacturer made cars pre-war as well.

I've tried pretty much all relevant English carmakers and I've found nothing.

Is it based on a Triumph chassis ?

Not a Triumph. The maker of the chassis made sporting cars pre-war but high quality touring cars post-war.

Getting VERY close. Try again.

Not Jensen. I guess it is unlocked now - I'd forgotten to mention that.
