No. It was not a factory body - the work was done by a coachbuilder.

You've already asked me that !  Not a major coachbuilder, like Park Ward or Mulliner.

Is it a Ford model 18, therefore from 1932?

It is indeed a '32 model.

PS I have just opened an e-mail from a man who knows about these things, and it appears that this is a '32 model in the US but could well be a '33/'34 model in the UK.  My puzzle source does not say.

Not Avon.

(I will not put this up to the Pros yet, because the image is available on the internet, and it's not an obscure site.)

Yes. I couldn't believe it when I saw the "other" car! Not so lucky in the World Cup semi-final, though.

One point to your total.

The very well known coach builder's site has this car as "Compton Ford V8 Sports Saloon, 1933"
I also found that W.J. Reynolds was a Ford dealer and I've been unable to find anything about them building bodies?

mekubb sorry about the World Cup match, but we're all very happy here in Argentina. ;D
