It has an AA or RAC Members Badge on bumper and the Number Plate is only held on with wing nuts, which makes me thing the number is only a temporary fitting.

Has the lines of an Alvis but some bits are not true to type.  Ah well! Soldier on!   :D

MY OH who is a petrol head thinks it could be a modern hybrid-- as in the 'fake vintage' type of thing.

We saw it at East Ruston gardens in Norfolk. Mr Hollins thought it might be the "fake" type. I thought the plate was all numbers but I'm not certain.

It looks right to me and pre war, I thinking now it could be German possibly, shame you didn't take a picture of the blue badge on the radiator grill, tax discs can help too!

Loads of makes come to mind, I can't find a match, but think it is British!    $uk

Not an expert, but think its a RR Phantom Drophead Coupe.    ;D

Sometimes called a Roadster and probably from 1930's.   ZXZ

Not a Roller....no "Spirit of Ecstasy" on the hood...sorry, bonnet.

How about Armstrong Siddeley.

Nah, don't think so.

Saw this one today and thought it might be of interest to the car enthusiasts on here.

This is the car for Llandudno.  Only tales up half a normal parking space.   Seen at the Wings and Wheels Show.  A shrunk Mini.

It's only half the height as well.
Is it on skids?
