That's once again the early Monica prototype.
The car is to be sold by DVLA on 25 March 2010.
What a great piece of history!

That's a Monica prototype alright - this one is ID'd as prototype number two by the shop that constructed it. Is it the same car as my previous puzzle? Could be. Perhaps a Monica expert will chime in.

Well, I'm hardly an expert, but as there seems to be a little confusion here as to which car is which I'll add this:
The two cars in your puzzles are in fact different. This one is indeed prototype #2 as built by Williams & Pritchard. the car in puzzle 1119 is #1 which was built by Maurice Gomm.
There are some nice pictures of this 2nd car completed in colour but they seem to have vanished from the internet at the moment  :-\

Excellent - then they shall remain un-merged. Thanks for your reply.  :)

No problem. Please see also my replies in the other Monica puzzles, hopefully this should clear things up a little...

The No. 1 prototype sold at auction here in the UK within the last couple of weeks to some brave soul.  I believe it went for somewhere in the region of £12500.
