is there a morgan connection?

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.

From UK ?

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 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.
