Oh-la-la: very spiffy, but who is the coachbuilder of this flamboyant creation on which make and type of chassis?

bentleybob · « **Reply #1 on:** May 29, 2012, 06:36:33 AM »

Up, I suppose

A side view

3.5 Litre Bentley?

bentleybob · « **Reply #4 on:** June 02, 2012, 11:30:38 AM »

Yes, Derby Bentley

British coachbuilder?

bentleybob · « **Reply #6 on:** June 03, 2012, 02:49:23 PM »

Yes, sir

R.W. Osborne & Son of Saffron Walden, Essex, UK?

Very exotic, but the truth is much more mundane..

Rippon Brothers of Huddlefield?

bentleybob · « **Reply #10 on:** June 05, 2012, 02:58:12 AM »

No, not them, but your thinking is in the right direction..

Tackitt · « **Reply #11 on:** June 06, 2012, 07:35:48 AM »

Would that be direction, as in compass direction? Knibbs & Parkyn, Manchester?

bentleybob · « **Reply #12 on:** June 06, 2012, 05:14:04 PM »

As in, think outside London. Not Knibbs & Parkyn, though.

Tackitt · « **Reply #13 on:** June 07, 2012, 12:30:03 AM »

That's a lot of ground. Did this coachbuilder dress up many Derbys?

bentleybob · « **Reply #14 on:** June 07, 2012, 06:21:49 AM »

A fair share of it, yes

Tackitt · « **Reply #15 on:** June 08, 2012, 02:46:23 AM »

A Mulliner, Northampton?

bentleybob · « **Reply #16 on:** June 08, 2012, 04:47:14 AM »

Indeed: though better known for very upright and provincial creations they went to town on this creation. A point for you.

Tackitt · « **Reply #17 on:** June 08, 2012, 06:41:50 AM »

They certainly did it right for that one. I had five more coachbuilders on my list.

Do you have the year of manufacture for this car?

I found an auction for a 1934 Arthur Mulliner Rolls-Royce that is very similar. Maybe that is the year of the puzzle car.

How old was the puzzle picture? Saloons from the 1930's occasionally get rebodied, maybe this one no longer exists.

Did you have any more pictures of the puzzle car?
