What is this car? Who built it, on what chassis, and with what engine?

All British.

I'm surprised nobody has tried this one. I've just checked and the photos are still available on Google.

It's a British-built special. and not as old as it looks.

MG-based?

No Rover content as far as I know.

Jaguar ?

It is Jaguar-engined. I will LOCK the puzzle for 24 hours for you.

oko94 · « **Reply #12 on:** November 13, 2014, 12:57:36 PM »

So its chassis is English, bigger than an MG but neither Jaguar nor Rover. Based on a Riley ?

You are on the right track. Not a Riley. Still locked.

Postwar chassis ?

This chassis is post-war, although the manufacturer made cars pre-war as well.

oko94 · « **Reply #16 on:** November 14, 2014, 02:17:16 PM »

I've tried pretty much all relevant English carmakers and I've found nothing.

Is it based on a Triumph chassis ?

Not a Triumph. The maker of the chassis made sporting cars pre-war but high quality touring cars post-war.

Aston Martin ?

Getting VERY close. Try again.

Jensen?

Not Jensen. I guess it is unlocked now - I'd forgotten to mention that.

YES! Relocked for you to tell me who built it.

It was built by Roger Daniell.
