The last info I have is from a website which featured the car as it looked like in the 1990s. Back then it was in nice, driveable condition.

Is it still online ?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #58 on:** June 20, 2023, 09:01:57 AM »

yes, but the tricky part is that Barker is not mentioned, just the company which did the rebody

oko94 · « **Reply #59 on:** June 20, 2023, 09:34:28 AM »

Now I know why I haven't found it yet !

Was the car rebodied between 1935 and 1940 ?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #60 on:** June 20, 2023, 02:23:53 PM »

no, it was rebodied after the war

oko94 · « **Reply #61 on:** June 20, 2023, 02:47:43 PM »

Rebodied between 1945 and 1950 ?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #62 on:** June 21, 2023, 04:15:53 PM »

yes, but the website lists the original data of production which was 1933.

oko94 · « **Reply #63 on:** June 23, 2023, 12:55:25 AM »

Does the chassis number start with GEX ?
