I hope I am in the right place to ask this. I do not know what this is.

Yes, I believe it is a right place. Do you know the place (the country) where the photo has been taken? It may be helpful.

It reminds me one of the Crosley-based microcars.

Very hard to say, but it could be this... However I have never seen a rear view period picture of BMC...

Paul Jaray · October 19, 2009, 08:06:28 AM

I do not have a rear view, but I'm pretty sure it's one of these.

The grille opening is wrong as are the lines at the rear of the front fender.

Paul Jaray · October 31, 2009, 01:28:05 PM

Any known detail? (nationality for example?)

Paul Jaray · October 31, 2009, 03:25:54 PM

Probably I found it...I'll post a pic.

Paul Jaray · October 31, 2009, 03:38:50 PM

mmmm...what do you think?

Paul Jaray · October 31, 2009, 03:41:18 PM

...I think it's not that, here's a pic with the grille.

To me the puzzle car is a bit bigger, longer at least.

Ultra · November 01, 2009, 02:56:32 AM

The car is question does not have the dash bulge that PJ's car has.

Thank you!

Sorry I haven't gotten back to this. I am still new enough here to lose some things.
And I have a little more information, including a rear view image which should have shown itself on the first post.
The instruments are 1930s Peugeot and the motor is AutoBleu Marine. Is not believed to be original but it is all leading up to the conclusion that it is French.

faksta · November 03, 2009, 03:29:55 PM

The rear end is different, at least it seems to me so, as well as the front to be honest. If it is French, maybe we should ask at some French forums then?

faksta · November 04, 2009, 02:34:58 PM

First to come - first to get a point

I AM SORRY, SORRY, SORRY! I have messed up badly. I just gave out wrong information for this car. I got completely confused with another car that I am researching. This car is just a shell. No instruments and no motor.
I suspect it is an American body for a Bantam or Crosley or some such.
Again, I apologize profusely.

Well, no need to disturb French forums then
