No rookie guess, let's move this to the experts' floor.

Fuldamobil?

[Ray B.]

Related to Fuldamobil, of course. But that's not what is asked.

Is this a British Nobel 200?

[Ray B.]

It's a Nobel (or York-Nobel) 200.
A Fuldamobil with right-hand drive: that was still easy.
What I want to know is where it was built. And by what company, I should have asked. But if you find where you'll find who.

Locked for you 48 hours.

I don’t know what the correct answer is but I assume you are looking for “Short Brothers & Harland Ltd from Belfast.”

But I also bumped on firms as ‘Harland and Wolfe’, also located in Belfast, ‘Bristol Aeroplane Company’…presumably located in Bristol (they are only mentioned as makers of the body) and that it was even offered as a kit.

This particular one was indeed made by Shorts (an aircraft company) in Belfast, ans sold there. The story is told by its first owner. He should know. Well done.
