The odd proportions should make it easy to identify.

For one point, please respond and tell me the name of this car, when it was built and for whom.

1913 Lanchester for a Maharajah?
I (almost) agree - it looks very like the Maharajah of Rewa's 1912 38 h.p. Lanchester detachable-roof limousine (on chassis 1154) illustrated in Chris Clark's Book.

I was almost giving the point to you, Allan, when I noticed this puzzle still being at expert level.  :o
So this point goes to bentleybob although he didn't give the complete answer.

Oh rats, I still get swept along by knowledge rather than stopping to think - sorry I ruined your puzzle Wendax. :o
