Not that.
I presume the first three letters refer to the builder's initials but I don't have any more information on that.

A point if you can answer those three questions correctly.

This is the 1946 BMW ERN Special, Built By Friedrick Hans Ern in 46 on a 1935 BMW 319 chassis originally delivered to Max Tell on the 26 November 1935.
Herr Ern was a bit of a Play Boy for his time and commissioned the build of this great little car to use many 328 components and an Alloy body which I believe was built by 'Drews' of Wuppertal. I think that it spent a short time it was raced with a Simca engine before receiving its 328 engine.
It was restored by TT Workshops Ltd (now Bristol Engineering Ltd) in 1994 after being in a Museum for some time.

It is still looked after Bristol Engineering and is still in Private ownership, it can be seen still on European rally's.

You could say that, is that cheating? if so I will leave cars we have done to others in future.

Yes, that's it and thank you for your interesting reply.
I'm also happy to give you your first point and perhaps seeing some more of the cars you have dealt with.
