A post-war build on what could have been either pre=war or post. Most likely post-war IMHO.

From the 1950s?

I believe so. The image is from the 1960s but I'm sure the car was built in the previous decade.

Post by: nicanary on November 14, 2022, 06:38:08 AM: Well found! I'd more or less forgotten about this puzzle - I'm glad you posted the full advert because I've deleted my copy. I have no idea why it was called the Denmark. Maybe it was built by someone with that name or possibly a garage/tuner of that name.

Two points.

Post by: Allan L on November 14, 2022, 07:53:18 AM: Possibly got its name from Denmark Hill in SE London (SE5 or SE24) between Camberwell and Dulwich. Not that I can say why.
