barrett · August 24, 2014, 09:25:13 AM

What's the mechanical base and who built it? an approximate year would be good, too

barrett · September 10, 2014, 03:34:19 PM

Experts?

Ford V8 Pilot based trials car from circa 1939 ?

barrett · September 11, 2014, 01:37:17 PM

Not based on a Ford, and a little later than 1939

barrett · September 30, 2014, 05:41:28 AM

Not easy, but not impossible. Pros?

Wendax · September 30, 2014, 05:45:05 AM

It shares a lot of similarities with the Healey-based Duncan Drone. Is it one of those?

barrett · September 30, 2014, 05:46:26 AM

No connection to Duncan or Healey, despite appearances!

That's a Buckler with a V12 Lincoln engine. I'll have to look up the rest.

barrett · September 30, 2014, 06:23:45 AM

It looks similar, but this has no Buckler or Lincoln connection!

Alvis base?

barrett · October 02, 2014, 04:09:16 AM

Not based on an Alvis

nicanary · October 02, 2014, 11:01:34 AM

I reckon it was built just post-war on a pre-WW2 chassis. Riley ?

barrett · October 02, 2014, 11:05:31 AM

The time-frame is about right but it's not a Riley

Daimler based? Can it be found on the Internet?

nicanary · October 05, 2014, 07:28:32 AM

It looks like a medium-sized car to me, which explains my previous guesses. Maybe it's smaller. An MG ?

barrett · October 06, 2014, 04:17:04 AM

Not Daimler or MG, and I don't think it can be seen online

Wolseley Hornet base?

nicanary · October 08, 2014, 07:16:22 AM

I've changed my line of investigation - is it a Railton ?

barrett · October 08, 2014, 07:36:21 AM

Not a Railton, but that is the closest guess so far

Not a Wolseley Hornet either

nicanary · October 08, 2014, 08:08:09 AM

Based on a Hudson Terraplane?

barrett · October 08, 2014, 08:31:34 AM

Not that

nicanary · October 08, 2014, 08:51:31 AM

Ford V8 ?

barrett · October 09, 2014, 08:27:35 AM

Not that

nicanary · October 09, 2014, 11:04:52 AM

Lammas-Graham ?
