Don't agree about the Spridget base, but think it may be based on another BMC model.

barrett · « **Reply #6 on:** June 16, 2010, 06:31:32 AM »

looking again you might be right, it seems slightly long for a spridget...

maybe MGB based?

Quiller · « **Reply #7 on:** August 01, 2010, 06:19:59 PM »

After some delay, here's my response!
Not anything to do with Seat
Not Spridget based, nor MGB
Any further ideas...?

Welcome back!

From the UK?

Anything to do with Turner?

Quiller · « **Reply #10 on:** August 02, 2010, 10:01:30 AM »

Yes it's from the UK but nothing to do with Turner ...

Carnut · « **Reply #11 on:** August 02, 2010, 10:19:46 AM »

BMC engine?

Quiller · « **Reply #12 on:** August 02, 2010, 12:09:42 PM »

No, not BMC

A fiberglass special, based upon Ford mechanicals?

Quiller · « **Reply #14 on:** August 04, 2010, 12:44:38 PM »

Not fibreglass and not Ford-engined ...

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #15 on:** August 05, 2010, 05:30:17 AM »

A hint of Sunbeam at the front...

Carnut · « **Reply #16 on:** August 05, 2010, 08:57:33 AM »

Aluminium bodywork by Williams & Pritchard?

woodinsight · « **Reply #17 on:** August 05, 2010, 01:53:00 PM »

Singer-based with a one-off body?

Quiller · « **Reply #18 on:** August 05, 2010, 03:22:38 PM »

Not sure if the body was built in-house by the company concerned, or if it was farmed out, but it's the marque name I'm after.
No Singer or Sunbeam connection that I'm aware of ...

barrett · « **Reply #19 on:** August 05, 2010, 03:52:42 PM »

A long shot.... could it be the prototype Gilbern GT?

Quiller · « **Reply #20 on:** August 05, 2010, 06:01:45 PM »

Not a Gilbern ...

Carnut · « **Reply #21 on:** August 05, 2010, 06:56:46 PM »

Emery?

Quiller · « **Reply #22 on:** August 05, 2010, 08:01:42 PM »

Nope, not Emery

barrett · « **Reply #23 on:** August 06, 2010, 01:53:42 AM »

From a marque that made other models, or was this their only car-making foray?

Carnut · « **Reply #24 on:** August 06, 2010, 04:46:02 AM »

Could it be something to do with Triumph?
Wheelbase looks distinctly Spitfire and that bonnet looks a bit Triumph-ish too, the way it opens..
