This one is quite easy.
I'm looking for a complete answer.
As usual I'll make things harder.
This car have got a Make a Model a Dealer and a Coachbuilder.
A rookie will get a point for each one.
An expert will get a point only for Make + Model + Dealer and another 1 for the Coachbuilder.
A pro will get a point with a complete answer.

(I hope I made myself clear...it will be the 1st time  ;D...)

Is it a March-bodied Lancia Augusta, sold by Thompson & Taylor in the UK?
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.

Half correct...man that was quick!
Make and Model are correct, dealer is not and the coachbuilder is missing.

I believe he is right,so what“s missing? The dealer is Kevill-Davies & March? and the conversion made by them too..

This is indeed a March Special, based on the Lancia Augusta, sold by Kevill-Davies & March...and the coachbuilder was?

Interesting, could this be a Whittingham & Mitchel body built to a design by Freddy March?

updated: sorry, didn't see the answer had already been given!
