I do not know what this is, so I place it here instantly.

The file name tells you all the fact I have.

Can you identify this one and proof your guess?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #1 on:** December 06, 2014, 10:28:01 AM »

I now know the chassis make!

But I still have no idea about the coachbuiling company.

However, this now goes to >>> The Black Hole >>>

Based on a British chassis?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #3 on:** April 01, 2017, 10:40:12 AM »

To my best knowledge no.

However it was shown at the London Olympia show...

After WWII?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #5 on:** April 01, 2017, 11:40:05 AM »

Nooo- almost a decade before the beginning of WW2...

Oguerrerob · « **Reply #6 on:** April 01, 2017, 12:35:43 PM »

Could it be a 1932 Hillman Aero Minx

grobmotorix · « **Reply #7 on:** April 01, 2017, 05:39:01 PM »

Bood guess, but no.

see the pointed front screen...

Did the chassis maker exist after 1950?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #9 on:** April 26, 2017, 12:23:26 PM »

It still exists - only they do not build cars any more...

Oguerrerob · « **Reply #10 on:** April 26, 2017, 12:32:12 PM »

But still in the car business ( tuning, accesories) ?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #11 on:** April 26, 2017, 12:35:05 PM »

Not really.

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #12 on:** April 26, 2017, 11:17:25 PM »

Do they build vehicles?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #13 on:** April 27, 2017, 01:38:11 PM »

They are a components factory today - for planes...

pnegyesi · « **Reply #14 on:** June 11, 2017, 04:57:02 AM »

did they also build motorcycles?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #15 on:** June 12, 2017, 12:02:27 PM »

Quite sure no...

D-type · « **Reply #16 on:** June 28, 2017, 04:05:31 PM »

Frazer Nash ?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #17 on:** June 28, 2017, 04:35:00 PM »

Not those - not a British chassis..

grobmotorix · « **Reply #18 on:** December 31, 2017, 06:26:57 AM »

I want to find out more about this one.

So I help a bit.

This one was a real luxury car by a still legendary brand which I know...

Wendax · « **Reply #19 on:** December 31, 2017, 07:17:45 AM »

Built on a Bugatti chassis?

oko94 · « **Reply #20 on:** December 31, 2017, 07:42:34 AM »

Hispano Suiza ?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #21 on:** December 31, 2017, 07:49:36 AM »

Exactly....

oko94 · « **Reply #22 on:** December 31, 2017, 08:34:11 AM »

Thanks, but I think you forgot to add point(s).

grobmotorix · « **Reply #23 on:** December 31, 2017, 09:24:01 AM »

I deliberately have not awarded a point for a big hint like that at Pro level, sorry.

What is interesting here and the only challenge will be the correct prove who was the coachbuilding company...

William Hearne. · « **Reply #24 on:** January 03, 2018, 10:22:22 PM »

Interesting that the lamps appear to be British Lucas of the period. There is a popular book compiled by Lawrence Dalton titled 'The 1930 London Motor Show and Paris Salon'. Pity that it is not a year earlier as every single car that was in the show is listed.
