It might look familiar to some of you.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

is it European?

Wendax · « **Reply #10 on:** June 07, 2016, 05:17:02 PM »

European

kwgibbs · « **Reply #11 on:** June 07, 2016, 07:52:11 PM »

was it actually ever built ,or just a sketch?

Wendax · « **Reply #12 on:** June 08, 2016, 02:17:30 AM »

Hard to answer without giving it away. Let's say it this way: it was not built as it was initially supposed to be.

It's European but RHD; does that mean it's British, as I can't think of any other European car-producing nations which drive on the left apart from Ireland?

I did not deny that it was British, because it is British! It was just not a design sketch for a well-known British car company.

Carnut · « **Reply #15 on:** June 09, 2016, 05:42:01 AM »

By a design studio, like Ogle?

Wendax · « **Reply #16 on:** June 09, 2016, 06:34:39 AM »

No, by an independent designer

Carnut · « **Reply #17 on:** June 11, 2016, 07:19:17 AM »

And was the designer British too?

One who is known for other cars too?

Wendax · « **Reply #20 on:** June 11, 2016, 09:28:50 AM »

He did enter several design competitions and won at least one. I don't think that any of his other designs were ever built.

Carnut · « **Reply #21 on:** June 14, 2016, 04:20:30 AM »

Did he work for a manufacturer or as a freelance?

Wendax · « **Reply #22 on:** June 14, 2016, 05:17:30 AM »

freelance, later on he changed towards education

Carnut · « **Reply #23 on:** June 14, 2016, 06:03:56 AM »

John Heffernan?
