One point only for the correct chassis make AND the correct coachbuilding company...

British car ?

Neither the chassis nor the bodywork came from the UK.

Would it therefore be right to assume that the drive train is British?

Chassis and drive train: Italian

Bodywork:

Italy

Do the Italian bits come from an Alfa Romeo?
And the body from Switzerland?

Yes, they were active back then, but this is not a Karmann body.

Chassis and drive train: Alfa Romeo

Bodywork: by a German company
but not:

~~Karmann~~

Still one more try...

Final try: Ludwig Weinberger

As is obvious, I know absolutely zilch about German coachbuilders. Now, those who know the answer and have been itching to post it can do so.

Ok, D-type.

Open for all again.

Chassis and drive train: Alfa Romeo
