Rolls Royce by Uhlik?

[pnegyesi]

not RR, not by Uhlik

[nicanary]

My guess of Talbot was a bit dumb - those wheels are bolt-on wires, which indicates that this is a fairly mundane donor car. However, it would be unusual for a Continental coachbuilder to bother working on something really pedestrian. All of which has me puzzled. Even the Rover Speed 14 had knock-off wires.

Is this from an American-owned company?

[Allan L]

Perhaps a Riley Blue Streak (16/4) of 1937 or '38?

[4popoid]

Humber Snipe circa 1937?

[pnegyesi]

not a Riley or Humber, but the donor was owned by an American company at this time

[4popoid]

Vauxhall Silent 80 circa 1933?

[pnegyesi]

Vauxhall, 1933. I don't know the model, but I assume you may be right. I give you a 24-hour lock to find the coachbuilder - it won't be easy
