Seems to be the 1937 Skoda Sagitta prototype.  (Just to summarize what others have said)

Well, I have it as earlier than 1937 and no mention of Sagitta where I found it, but I will check.
It is a prototype, not a production model.

You've had the lock for 4 days now so I'll just give you it for another 24 hours then if you haven't replied it'll be moved to the Pro's and opened to all again, which would be a pity as you're almost there!

Here's another picture of this car to help you along:

thanks!
some sources named it "Skoda 932 Prototype" (1934) such as another prototype designed two years before:

It is indeed a 932 prototype, but not from 1934 (see my reply #12).
Have another go at the year!
