I have very little information about this car, just the make and a year. So 1 point if you have this right and an extra point if you can proof the model and coach builder

Jaguar xk 120 based?

No Jaguar connection that I know off

Early Turner ? They all had different bodywork.

I've changed my mind. That looks like a Continental hillclimb start - the car behind has what may be German plates. RHD could be British base or Italian. The car looks like a re-bodied pre-war model, especially with the high seating position. Alfa Romeo ?

Not an Alfa. You may be right that the car is a re-bodied pre-war model, I have the same feeling. But I really don't know !

Those wheels are huge - I reckon it could be vintage. Alvis ?

mekubb · « **Reply #6 on:** May 15, 2013, 12:30:31 PM »

Not an Alvis according to my source

I'd better start again. Is the base car British ?

mekubb · « **Reply #8 on:** May 16, 2013, 08:57:29 AM »

Not British at all...

Italian base car ?

mekubb · « **Reply #10 on:** May 16, 2013, 03:31:06 PM »

Not an Italian base

nicanary · « **Reply #11 on:** May 17, 2013, 07:10:21 AM »

If it's possibly pre-WW2 and not British or Italian, then maybe it's French ?

mekubb · « **Reply #12 on:** May 17, 2013, 09:44:21 AM »

French it is indeed....

Talbot-Lago ?

mekubb · « **Reply #14 on:** May 17, 2013, 12:14:51 PM »

Delage ?

mekubb · « **Reply #16 on:** May 18, 2013, 02:56:19 AM »

Not Delage either....

nicanary · « **Reply #17 on:** May 18, 2013, 05:09:54 AM »

It looks quite large, so there isn't much left. Delahaye ?

mekubb · « **Reply #18 on:** May 18, 2013, 01:13:27 PM »

Not a Delahaye sir....
