No points for the marque but whose coachwork is this?
I don't know and need proof to solve this puzzle.

Do the experts know who was responsible for the coachwork?

I really don't know who built the coachwork.
The illustration came from a sort of "Boys Book of Cars" type of publication published in the early 1950s.
This is one of the reasons for putting it up to Pro level to discover if anyone knows and can provide proof.

That indeed is identical with the car in the puzzle - the owner has removed the rear wheel spats but I'm sure it's the car.
I'll consider this one solved but if anyone has any further information on who it was built for it would be most welcome.
Well done Joao.
