You're SO close! The year, make and model are all correct, so it's LOCKED for you to find the correct coachbuilder.

I'm very sorry I didn't notice this reply - not Touring, but because of my error I'll keep it locked for you for one more try.

(PS You were in the right country the first time!)

24 days have elapsed. I think you have a good point - UNLOCKED.

When you first posted this I looked into it and found a lot of pictures of it describing it as by Graber..
Of course it was auctioned recently by Coys, who described it correctly as a Langenthal body, but I wonder if that prompted others to change their description of it?!

I have to admit I was surprised that it had never been a previous puzzle - Swiss coachbuilt bodies are frequently selected as fodder by AP members. I'm beginning to wonder if it has indeed been here before, under the Graber moniker. But who's correct?
