The buildings in the background say 'British', so is it a British car?

Darn it, I was afraid of that. I know I've seen this photo somewhere, and I vaguely remembered it as being from Sweden or Denmark (not sure which) and that the car isn't AT ALL what anyone would think it is . . . But of course I don't have the slightest recollection of what make the car is. I know it will come to me, I just don't know when. . . . As I get older, these little naps are SO refreshing. So please don't lock it, maybe someone else saw the original photo, too. I'll start looking.

Still looking . . . A Minerva, perhaps, under all that Danish pastry?

I'm pretty sure (about 90%) that this is a European car beneath that extensive Danish bodywork. Most likely it wore a much different set of clothes when it was new - which only makes the search more difficult. Fun, though . . . I've come across some pretty interesting cars during the search, but I haven't found it yet.

OK, I finally came up with it . . I decided to start going alphabetically through large European cars of the right approximate age and researching them, cross-referencing with "Danish" or "Denmark" . . . And still came up with nothing, until a Scandinavian friend suggested I use "Dansk" instead of "Danish". All I can say is, thank god it wasn't a ZIL or I never would have gotten to it.

I believe this car is a Danish-rebodied Bugatti Type 40. I am uncertain as to either the year of the original car, or when the Danish body was fabricated. It does appear the car has since been acquired in Germany and is being re-bodied more correctly, and thank goodness for that.

The Bugatti Trust archive does not have a photo of that car/body combination on the Type 40 register. If anyone has the IT skills to send them a copy it might interest them.

Not sure whether the two large chrome strips really improve the styling.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.
