Is it a Daimler?

SACO · « **Reply #3 on:** July 27, 2015, 02:28:23 AM »

Not a Daimler !

No Daimler.....was it build on an English chassis? It looks like a XK contender, but seems to be less refined.

SACO · « **Reply #5 on:** July 27, 2015, 04:36:02 AM »

Yes ! an English chassis !

The negative camber on those front wheels suggests it may be on an Allard chassis.

Not an Allard chassis !

Based upon the pre war Riley Sprite, my next guess is a Riley, not a sprite (that would be a pitty) but more likely to be a Postwar Riley RMC based car.

Not an Riley chassis !

Pros !

Jowett chassis ?

Alvis?

SACO · « **Reply #17 on:** August 07, 2015, 07:04:33 AM »

Yes ! a Jowett Jupiter !
1 point for oko94 !

Thank you !

But it's very much not a regular Jowett Jupiter.
Any more info available, like who built this and where?

SACO: please take no offense and these are your puzzles, but in many cases you are happy with identifying the chassis of a puzzle car and then we left wondering, what's this car? It would really be wonderful if we could learn more about these specials! Thanks

SACO · « **Reply #21 on:** August 07, 2015, 09:01:39 AM »

Sorry but I prefer an incomplete puzzle that no puzzle of the whole !

But this is a very interesting puzzle and we'd like to know more about this car; anyone?
