Aha, a mystery ...... Well I know 4 hyphenated h-mods :  Jones-Devin
                                                                                   Jones-deCamp
                                                                                   Edwards-Blume
                                                                                   Hall- Scott

I can find nothing about the Hall-Scott and the others were, I thought. front engined. Is one of them the other car you mention?

None of those is the puzzle car. It begins with the letter C as you have ascertained. The "other" car is C-S and the S is quite well-known. As I have said before, it has nothing much to do with my puzzle.

Found it at last - it is a Coffield mk 2 and the other car, which looks nothing like it, is the Coffield-Sceptre. I had been on the right website all along - but not in the right area. Amazingly they did not list it in their own list of h-mods ....... which  I now reproduce in my sleep.

 ;D. Well done TT. I know how you feel. You think you know all the sites, but something comes along and you think you've gone mad. I stumble on these puzzle subjects more by chance than intention.

Indeed I think that Coffield-Sceptre is probably a Coffield chassis with what is clearly a Sceptre body fitted. I can't find much about the builder Paul Coffield, although he is recorded racing a Centaur. It's actually a MkIII but you spent so long on the puzzle I'm not going to be pedantic.
