is there a morgan connection?

Allan L · « **Reply #11 on:** December 26, 2016, 04:00:22 AM »

Looks as if it should be a post-war AC but there are many differences from both AC's own drophead and the Buckland tourer.

It's not a Morgan, there's no AC connection but it is from the UK.

Is it a one-off based on a common-ish car?

The base is a very low-volume manufacturer of the period. The body is probably a one-off.

Does the front have a resemblance to other cars that were built on the same base?

That's a good question. No - it doesn't. Most cars named aftre this maker had individual bodies, there were never many which looked the same.

Is the maker of the base car known for sporty cars?

Is it by a recognised coachbuilder, and if so will it help to identify which? It has a little of Westland about it to my eye.
