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

[Carnut]

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!

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!

I presume it's not Chasssis 51233.

No; actually you were only 1 number out before..

Was in the hands of Bristol motor company ?
Destroyed by fire in 2004.

Chassis 51754 Bodied by Hooper in 1951 for Tim Eaton of Canada

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:
