What's the mechanical base and who built it? an approximate year would be good, too

Experts?

Ford V8 Pilot based trials car from circa 1939 ?

barrett · « **Reply #3 on:** September 11, 2014, 01:37:17 PM »

Not based on a Ford, and a little later than 1939

barrett · « **Reply #4 on:** September 30, 2014, 05:41:28 AM »

Not easy, but not impossible. Pros?

It shares a lot of similarities with the Healey-based Duncan Drone. Is it one of those?

barrett · « **Reply #6 on:** September 30, 2014, 05:46:26 AM »

No connection to Duncan or Healey, despite appearances!

That's a Buckler with a V12 Lincoln engine. I'll have to look up the rest.

barrett · « **Reply #8 on:** September 30, 2014, 06:23:45 AM »

It looks similar, but this has no Buckler or Lincoln connection!

Alvis base?

barrett · « **Reply #11 on:** October 02, 2014, 04:09:16 AM »

Not based on an Alvis

I reckon it was built just post-war on a pre-WW2 chassis. Riley ?

barrett · « **Reply #13 on:** October 02, 2014, 11:05:31 AM »

The time-frame is about right but it's not a Riley

Daimler based? Can it be found on the Internet?

nicanary · « **Reply #15 on:** October 05, 2014, 07:28:32 AM »

It looks like a medium-sized car to me, which explains my previous guesses. Maybe it's smaller. An MG ?

barrett · « **Reply #16 on:** October 06, 2014, 04:17:04 AM »

Not Daimler or MG, and I don't think it can be seen online

Wolseley Hornet base?

nicanary · « **Reply #18 on:** October 08, 2014, 07:16:22 AM »

I've changed my line of investigation - is it a Railton ?

barrett · « **Reply #19 on:** October 08, 2014, 07:36:21 AM »

Not a Railton, but that is the closest guess so far

Not a Wolseley Hornet either

nicanary · « **Reply #20 on:** October 08, 2014, 08:08:09 AM »

Based on a Hudson Terraplane?

barrett · « **Reply #21 on:** October 08, 2014, 08:31:34 AM »

Not that

nicanary · « **Reply #22 on:** October 08, 2014, 08:51:31 AM »

Ford V8 ?

barrett · « **Reply #23 on:** October 09, 2014, 08:27:35 AM »

Not that
