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

Yes it's from a well-known make, but this was the only one of these it made
And no, not based on a Triumph

Fantastic! I really, really like this! Very good-looking car in my opinion.... I wonder how much it'll cost to buy this one?  ;)

Of course, you are right. A very interesting side project.

It's a bit modern for me, but I'd still quite like it - problem is what would I use it for if I had it?

They claim it had a ground-up restoration in the last 8 years so not much tinkering should be needed - however my 1910 Star had been heavily restored and it took me several years to correct the mechanical mistakes the professional restorer had made, so yer ne'er can tell!

No, and surely "need" has absolutely nothing to do with it!
