What the coachbuilder saw: solved

[Allan L]

The second 100 will be far slower than the first.  Puzzles are getting harder as the stock of unsolved cars out there steadily reduces.  And I know nothing of European coachbuilders, East European, South American or Far Eastern car makers and US customisers

That was and remains my problem too: I struck (un) lucky enough to make it and look at me now!

After a week with the Experts the Pros can have it (while D-Type is at Goodwood, and before he gets them all . . . )

No. 11 looks like a Mercedes Benz 300 SLR

And No. 1 looks like a 3 litre Bentley.

[Tom_I]

Chassis 2 has a distinctive suspension set-up - independent front with upper transverse leaf springs, and rigid rear axle on torsion bars with a central A-frame.

I'd guess it's a post-war Frazer Nash, possibly a Le Mans Replica, but I'm not certain.

[neilshouse]

Is No. 8 An ERA E-Type?

And No. 6, is it a BMW 303?

No. 3, is it an Aston Martin International?

[Tom_I]

Chassis 12 is obviously a single-seater. It has all-independent suspension by wishbones and longitudinal torsion bars, a Wilson pre-selector gearbox, and an unusual steering box positioned behind the engine. I think that all fits with the MG R-Type of 1935.

They do because they are!
both correct

Yes that's what it is!

No 8 is the E type ERA
No 3 is an Aston Martin International
No 6 is not a BMW 303

Everything you've spotted and listed fits the R-Type as a unique combination, so yes!

Is #6 a Frazer Nash BMW 319?

[woodinsight]

#6 - BMW 315?

[Allan L]

Is #6 a Frazer Nash BMW 319?

#6 - BMW 315?

The source says it is:
BMW. 1.5 litre 6-cylinder tourer. 1934 'Alpine Trial '
which I think makes it a 315 so I'll say you've got it.
319 was 1911cc, but you can't say that by looking at it!
I think 1934 predates Frazer Nash involvement.

#16 - Clyno 10.8hp mid-1920s?

[Allan L]

#16 - Clyno 10.8hp mid-1920s?

Right period but not a Clyno

[Wendax]

#17 Autovia V8?

[woodinsight]

#16 - on second thoughts, it appears to be LHD and therefore probably not British?

[Allan L]

#17 Autovia V8?

Not an Autovia, nor V8!

[Allan L]

#16 - on second thoughts, it appears to be LHD and therefore probably not British?

Doesn't look LHD to me, and it is British.

Doesn't look LHD to me, and it is British.

It's my eyesight I suppose!
Could it be a Trojan?
