Coventry Victor Luxury Sports - they made this from 1932 to 38, but the only photo I've ever seen of the car is the one you have posted, and that is captioned 1935.

That's the one, although I have it as 1937.

A different definition of 'luxury' from mine!

I have some other images but they are much too small to share. Well done, only one more point before you make Expert!

What a nice little three-wheeler.

Who built it, on which basis and when? You'll get one point for a correct answer.

It's the Luxury Sports version of the Coventry Victor, 1937, designed by Charles F. Beauvais.

So far, so good. But I miss the coachbuilder. Locked for you to find it.
