It's probably easy to guess the base car but who built the body?
So, required - make, model and coachbuilder for the point.

No guesses? This one is harder than you thought!

Could it be based on a Lanchester?

Not Lanchester although it is British

Jowett Jupiter based?

woodinsight · « **Reply #9 on:** March 20, 2011, 08:38:32 AM »

Neither Lea-Francis or Jowett based.
The make is usually associated with larger cars than those......

The wheels suggest it's a Bentley

woodinsight · « **Reply #11 on:** March 20, 2011, 09:12:19 AM »

Not a Bentley but more of that sort of quality

Lagonda

woodinsight · « **Reply #13 on:** March 20, 2011, 09:20:34 AM »

Yes - it's a Lagonda, but who built the coachwork?

Wendax · « **Reply #14 on:** March 20, 2011, 09:25:48 AM »

Abbott?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #15 on:** March 20, 2011, 09:26:34 AM »

Stabilimenti Farina?

guido66 · « **Reply #16 on:** March 20, 2011, 09:34:48 AM »

Tickford?

woodinsight · « **Reply #17 on:** March 20, 2011, 09:37:03 AM »

No to all three.
Coachbuilder is fairly obscure but not unknown..

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #18 on:** March 20, 2011, 09:38:51 AM »

Pennock?

woodinsight · « **Reply #19 on:** March 20, 2011, 11:07:54 AM »

Not Pennock
