British company at all?

alecwolf · « **Reply #10 on:** July 15, 2009, 01:13:41 AM »

It's partially British, but it was built in another country.

alecwolf · « **Reply #11 on:** July 24, 2009, 07:58:38 AM »

You will know it! Or?.....

Leyland something? India has an Ashok Leyland company, they could build this one for not so far away Iran.

alecwolf · « **Reply #13 on:** July 24, 2009, 06:33:16 PM »

They could, but there is no connection to Leyland...

If I understand it right...this is an Anglo-Iranian AP1, V8, 6 litres.
Thanks to the english index, it should be related to a certain Straussler Miklos (Nicolas Straussler).

Sorry for the slowly answer, i didn't checked this puzzle for a good while...
You are almost there, yes the car was designed by Michael Straussler in London. I think it's worth a point.
But which company has built it?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #16 on:** October 03, 2009, 03:45:44 PM »

Alvis?

alecwolf · « **Reply #17 on:** October 04, 2009, 07:35:51 AM »

Nope...

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #18 on:** October 04, 2009, 08:57:43 AM »

Csaba?

alecwolf · « **Reply #19 on:** October 04, 2009, 09:40:29 AM »

No, my name is Sandor

For help: The builder was a large scale industrialist in Hungary. He has built cars, trucks, and after the WW2 it was i.a. a famous motor bicycle factory in their former factory.

Weiss Manfréd-built truck from the mid-1930s

alecwolf · « **Reply #21 on:** January 01, 2010, 03:27:16 PM »

Yes, it was! Of course you know this

pnegyesi · « **Reply #22 on:** August 31, 2011, 12:23:51 PM »

Here's a picture showing the front of this vehicle. Standing in the middle is Viktor Szmick, a Hungarian engineer and racer who worked for Weiss Manfred from 1928 'til about 1943-1944.
