This is what I have:

1924 Hispano Suiza with Nieuport Astra Tulipwood Body and it's got a Hispano Straight 6, 8 litre.

I only know that because I have read Gerald Wingrove's car modelling book! (I love scratch building. Even if its hard!)

Tail lights are different. There is what appears to be a muffler under the sidemounted spare tire.

This car is newer than 1924, and is not a Hispano-Suiza.  Yes, the body is made of tulipwood.

As usual, nothing on AutoPuzzles is as it seems...

How about a 1939 Lagonda Rapide Tulipwood Boattail Racer?

Locked for Avalanche.

You are entirely correct.  Tell me about the engine in this car to earn your point.

 It is powered by a 4480-cc Double-Overhead Camshaft V12 engine that produces 225 horsepower with a four-speed manual gearbox.

Correct!

When I noticed there was a tulipwood roadster other than the Hispano-Suiza, I figured it would be a good subject for an AutoPuzzle.
