MJW #1127 - Maserati 2.9-litre Sports - not quite solved
« on: February 10, 2013, 01:34:56 AM »
....and finally, identify the marque of this sports car and the size of engine it was fitted with.
If you can tell me who built the body there may be an extra point on offer (I don't know the coachbuilder)
Apologies for the poor image - it's the only one I have.

The base car is not British and therefore it isn't an Allard.
It's possible that the body is from the UK but I can't confirm that.
