Make of this car is easy but what model is it, what year was it built and who built the coachwork?

Bad luck Wendax, I think Joao was slightly more correct with the model and year.
Anyway thanks to you both for being quick on the draw  :D

It's okay with me. Just to get this straight. Is this car a different one? It won the Alec Uhlmann Trophy at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance 2001. It was described as Hispano-Suiza H6C convertible sedan, coachwork by Fiol, built 1934.

It looks the same - perhaps Joao can comment on that?
