I saw all the guesses and knew that Swallows used Triumph mechanicals, and nobody had guessed it, so a quick search revealed that exact picture!

I'm convinced we've had this one before, but I can find no record of it!
So here it is (again?!) - what is it, by whom, from when - for 1 point?:

Frazer-Nash?

Good guess and it does look a bit like a FN Continental, but no, it's not a Frazer-Nash.

Carnut · « **Reply #92 on:** February 03, 2015, 05:57:05 AM »

Should last about 5 minutes with the Pro's...

nicanary · « **Reply #93 on:** February 03, 2015, 06:43:14 AM »

So you thought..........

I know it's not a Gilbern, but I can't get it out of my head. So is it a rebodied MGA?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #94 on:** February 03, 2015, 07:20:54 AM »

I have that very pic somewhere!
Turner?

Carnut · « **Reply #95 on:** February 03, 2015, 07:29:02 AM »

Not a Gilbern, an MGA or a Turner..

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #96 on:** February 03, 2015, 07:35:19 AM »

Custom built project or by a (known) maker?

barrett · « **Reply #97 on:** February 03, 2015, 07:39:15 AM »

It's a Swallow Doretti, isn't it? I can't remember who built it though

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #98 on:** February 03, 2015, 07:44:41 AM »

Aaaarghh....there it was!
I'll consider it locked and won't reply!

Carnut · « **Reply #99 on:** February 03, 2015, 07:48:34 AM »

Thanks PJ, yes I was about to reply to you and lock it for Barrett to say who is said to have been behind the bodywork and from when it dates.
