Maybe you've seen this video about 1929 Olympia Motor Show.
Note the ad over the car

WOW! Thank you!
As this glass sliding roof was new and unique at this show, I am sure we now have the final solution.
It must be a special coachwork of Mann Egerton then.

So that is TWO more points for you Oguerrerob!

I have to reopen this puzzle. Autocar credited Hill & Boll for the coachwork in their very extensive London Show Report
