No, it's not an Alvis, not by Graber and 1967 is quite a long way out..

It is indeed a Daimler, but it's just a proposal and was never actually built so no coachbuilder was involved and neither was her Ladyship.
I'll lock it for you until your next reply to see if you can tell me the basis of the car.

I can't keep it locked forever though, so the lock will be removed after midnight on 16th Feb if this isn't solved by then.

That's what it is, yes.
Apparently they were working on this when Jaguar took over Daimler, which inevitably brought this particular proposal to an end as Jaguar had other ideas..

Well done.
