It was a British marque/owned company but I'm not sure whether it was built in the UK or not; it was not meant for UK production and I think it's a prototype.

Thank you, and there was I thinking that Silver Ghosts weren't even of this world while Standard Atlases could be found everywhere but particularly up a North African mountain range.  Back to this cab, I always thought it was something that might have been found on a Hydrocon.
