Thar's a 30/120 Hispano-Suiza, which I think belonged to CWP Hampton (along with many other nice cars); I don't know the year and coachbuilder yet . . .

I have also seen the same photo described as a 1930 Boulogne, presumably an H6. Will keep looking.

"A K6, probably by Graber" according to a usually reliable source or "a J12, chassis number 14003, delivered in 1933 to Herman Graber on behalf of J Buess of Sissach".

Graber is correct as well as the year. But not a type K6 according to my source, which I believe is pretty reliable. Locked for you.

Sorry, I see that you already mentioned J12 in a previous answer. That is correct, a point for you.

Thanks! I was a bit puzzled, although it does look a bit small for a J12 . . .
