Post by: woodinsight on June 26, 2011, 04:01:46 AM: Not Bentley - much more obscure although the coachbuilder is well-known

Atalanta?
Apologies I missed your and Allemano's posts.
Atalanta it is. Who built the body and what year did it appear?
Locked for you until your next reply
Title: Re: MJW #466
Post by: Wendax on June 27, 2011, 02:45:34 AM: Not many choices for the year I guess. Atalanta appeared in 1937 with a four cylinder Gough engine. In 1938 the Atalanta was powered by the Lincoln Zephyr V12 engine. Production stopped in 1939. The body with its built-in headlights looks rather modern, so I guess 1939. Is the coachbuilder Abbotts of Farnham?

It is by Abbotts of Farnham but the year is 1938. The point is yours. Well done.
