The base car should be easy, but who built the coachwork and when?

barrett · « **Reply #1 on:** February 06, 2012, 11:46:53 AM »

After a slight delay... moving up

barrett · « **Reply #2 on:** February 17, 2012, 09:05:29 AM »

No action at all, so up again

Rogers Austin Special c.1945 built by Mike Rogers, Hatfield, Herts.?

Not that. This isn't a 'special' as such but a handmade body that was offered for sale, albeit by a very obscure coachbuilder

Brooks by Brooks Car Ltd., Brighton c.1952?

barrett · « **Reply #13 on:** February 22, 2012, 10:29:59 AM »

Right! Also known as the 'Sussex body'. Built just down the road from me, between 1950-52.

Tell me the name of the car and its basis for a point please

Looks like a dellow, there used to be one in my local garage showroom for years.

Quiller · « **Reply #16 on:** December 07, 2013, 04:34:07 PM »

Despite the similarities, there's no Dellow connection...

a Bantam conection?

Quiller · « **Reply #18 on:** December 12, 2013, 10:50:42 AM »

Only in the sense of its base mechanicals...

Quiller · « **Reply #19 on:** January 01, 2014, 09:52:17 AM »

New Year guesses invited...

Ihle design?

Quiller · « **Reply #23 on:** January 09, 2014, 12:21:52 PM »

Ihle design?

Nope...

To eliminate the obvious - is it Austin Seven based?
