Time to give away some points. You know the drill - tell me the make and model of the car pictured below and you'll be awarded a point  :)

It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

Clearly a British "Trials car".

First guess has to be Dellow

I'm afraid you're very far off with your first guess :)

This looks like a VSCC trials special, but what it's based on is not obvious.
Four-stud bolt-on wire wheels are not common - in fact I can't for the moment find an example.

Not a trials special. And not british.

I dunno. I might be as way off as D-Type but it somehow reminds me of the early Mitsubishi...

But I must be SOO wrong!

Hi, that is a Wikov Sport 7/28 from 1928, but I think where you found it, the name reported is Wikov 1500 Sport from 1926.

I've found three sites, with three different pictures, that identify it as a 1500.

I believe this is indeed the 1500 Sport. My sources show the 7/28 to look a bit different. Anyway, a point for PJ (sorry for spoiling the perfect 500 tally :P )

The 7/28 was a 1500cc, but of 1480 instead of 1453cc, but I think the "1500 Sport Spider" definition suits better!

Onward to 1,000!
