I do not know what this is, so I place it here instantly.

The file name tells you all the fact I have.

Can you identify this one and proof your guess?

grobmotorix

I now know the chassis make!

But I still have no idea about the coachbuiling company.

However, this now goes to >>> The Black Hole >>>

To my best knowledge no.

However it was shown at the London Olympia show...

Nooo- almost a decade before the beginning of WW2...

Oguerrerob


grobmotorix

Bood guess, but no.

see the pointed front screen...

Did the chassis maker exist after 1950?

grobmotorix

It still exists - only they do not build cars any more...

Oguerrerob

But still in the car business ( tuning, accesories) ?

They are a components factory today - for planes...

D-type

Duncan Rollo

The more you learn, the more you realise how little you know.

grobmotorix

Not those - not a British chassis..

grobmotorix

I want to find out more about this one.

So I help a bit.

This one was a real luxury car by a still legendary brand which I know...

I deliberately have not awarded a point for a big hint like that at Pro level, sorry.

What is interesting here and the only challenge will be the correct prove who was the coachbuilding company...

William Hearne.

Interesting that the lamps appear to be British Lucas of the period. There is a popular book compiled by Lawrence Dalton titled 'The 1930 London Motor Show and Paris Salon'. Pity that it is not a year earlier as every single car that was in the show is listed.
