I didn't think so, but there are a number of similarities.
There are also a few features in common with an Allard JR, are there not?
Title: Re: Puzzle #232
Post by: Otto Puzzell on February 23, 2007, 11:02:53 AM
I'd say so, yes.

Are there enough to make it a JR?
the photos/memory I have say the sidelamps are in the wrong place and side vents are the wrong shape. Also memory says a bonnet-top carb intake was usual.

I'll say JR for now, and see what you say!

You would think so, but that is not always the case.

I think you know enough about vintage autos that the color of origin hint should not always be neccesary.

is it a Salmson Spyder from around 1955?

Nope.

Clearly, this is the car from which Lee Iacoocoo derived the "long hood/short deck" concept for the original Moustang.    ;D

I don't know how I missed this response - yes, it is a special-bodied Jag.

It could just be an HWM-Jaguar, but I would expect brake-cooling intakes either side of the main radiator intake.

Post by: Otto Puzzell on March 15, 2007, 04:32:16 AM
No, not one of those.

Post by: Allan L on March 15, 2007, 04:54:33 AM
I have seen the Alton-Jaguar, but I have no recollection of its appearance, save that it wouldn't have been as smart in those days! Perhaps that's what it is?
Title: Re: Puzzle #232
Post by: Otto Puzzell on March 15, 2007, 05:18:42 AM
It is not.

Jaguar xk120C Barou Barchetta.  No idea of its history though.

British ?

Post by: grobmotorix on February 18, 2016, 01:25:52 PM
The basis car is British, yes.

I know the name of the car and I guess it tells us who built this bodywork.

Only I do not know, where that company was located...

AC ?

Post by: grobmotorix on February 18, 2016, 01:46:23 PM
It looks like an early AC Ace or AC Bristol, but it isn´t...

Jaguar XK120 by Barou. Commissioned by Henri Peigneux of Lyon.

Argh! Instead of looking for the former puzzle, I should have typed the answer. Well, it is a repost: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=1124
Title: Re: grob 2016.01.30 (05)
Post by: grobmotorix on February 18, 2016, 03:21:17 PM
Haha - well I could not find it as I had it as the Jaguar XKC 120 BaroN, not Barou.

I made the photo myself and did not know what it was.

I searched and found the car afterwards in the internet, where it was wrongly named, obviously...

Your point, nicanary!
