Solved - NEH 1433: Daimler DE-36 'Green Goddess' by Hooper - 1951

For the point I'll need to know exactly what this is, what it is known as, when it was built, who built it, who it was built for and what is its chassis number!

Google Image Search continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Image Search as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

We ask all members to remember and respect this, and retain the right to ask puzzle-solvers how they came to their answer.

Have fun!

It's a Daimler, but nothing to do with Lady Docker!

You're on the right track all right - it's a DE-36 Green Goddess by Hooper, but it's not 1950, it's not No. 6 and it's not S/N 51753.

But since only 8 were made (not 6!) you're almost there.

Locked for you to have another crack at which Green Goddess this is!

The 'I presume it's not' post was tongue in cheek as 51233 was the first and last one to be bodied.  :)

That's the one, yes (no. 7 of 8 built).
Don't know if was in the hands of Bristol and I didn't know it was destroyed by fire either.  Shame.  But others survive and one of them was completely restoredrecently:
