Yes it is the prototype Alvis TA21 that was eventually deemed too expensive to produce.
However I have an earlier year for it.
Locked for you until your next reply.

Captain Slow, I'm giving you another 12 hours to come back with the answer before I open it up again.
Apart from the year being wrong, the model type is still lacking its full description.
Although it was a prototype TA21 it was called the xxxxxxx xxxxx TA21.

Thanks for keeping it locked, but as I haven't found the answer in the last three days I'm unlikely to get it now. Feel free to open it back up. :)

No it's an Alvis prototype and nothing to do with Jano or Lancia
