I can see the similarity in the body style, but no connection with Morgan at all..

The orphan resurfaces ;)

If my references are correct, this should be a 1934 Czech Aero 30 with coach work by Sodomka.

Thank You Sir!!

May I say here that this particular car was not one of Sodomka's prettiest roadster type cars on the small chassis such as Aero.
The hood/top line is just a bit "off" in my eyes.  I wonder if the car survives as a lot of Aeros seem to have done.

It does look a bit awkward but I put that down to the fact that it's a 4-seater.
Sitting so far back in the chassis the hood needs to be a bit square to cover the rear seat passengers.

Not to beat this one to death, but I take your point now.

I just Googled 4 seat and 2 seat roadster photos and from the beginning until today, all 4 seat roadsters, few as they are, seem to have the same problem with the hood/top being up in terms of somewhat ungainly appearance.

I suppose that is why the invented rumble/mother in law seats for the two seaters that needed room for two more passengers.
Never really thought about it before.
