Dunlop-style wheels, so Jaguar-related?

Could it be MGA twincam related?

Nash-Healey proposal?

Not Austin or Nash Healey, but there is a vague connection...

Buckler?

No. This was for a make which didn't actually get off the ground

So I understand, it is a 1953 project by an British stylist, for a marque, which never got off the ground.
Was the stylist a race car engineer, who designed other race cars?

oko94 · « **Reply #44 on:** September 19, 2023, 04:22:24 PM »

Is the stylist known for mass-produced passenger cars ?

'mass-produced' is probably a stretch, but yes he is most famous for his car designs which were built

oko94 · « **Reply #46 on:** September 20, 2023, 04:55:02 AM »

Could it be a young William Towns (he was 17 in 1953) ?

barrett · « **Reply #47 on:** September 20, 2023, 05:15:40 AM »

Not Towns

Tom Karen ?
