None of the above. This one is quite obscure

kwgibbs · December 18, 2013, 02:44:58 PM

I know peerless isn,t super obscure,but I thought I would give it a whirl?

Quiller · December 19, 2013, 02:14:46 PM

Worth a whirl but not a Peerless...

Very interesting. Was this a commercially available body or a private venture by an individual?

Debonair?

Not that...

barrett · December 22, 2013, 02:53:56 PM

Did the company make other bodies that might be better known or was this their sole attempt at making cars?

Quiller · December 23, 2013, 12:41:20 PM

This was the only model produced. However the designer worked for several well-known companies...

Shirley?

Not that. The car is named after its creator, who worked for at least two major car brands

Is it an early work from David Ogle ?

Brookes is correct! Very good - not at all easy.
Fred Brookes worked for Singer before and Ford after this car, which dates from circa 1956 or 1957
