I'd take a wild guess and say it's the same car?

Would not be plagued by persons coming up and saying "my grandfather etc had one of those".
(although locally we have a very well executed one off special bodied version of a very rare 1950s Jowett model, and it does occasionally attract that observation!)

Looks like a doctor who special !
RE: Anybody know this car please ? - Fleetwood mick - 26-01-2020
Thanks Chris KC......That is indeed the same car !
very much appreciated .

Over the years several postings have caused me to exercise considerable constraint, but none more so than this one....
I guess it can be fun to be the centre of attention; streakers seem to think so. I suppose we can be thankful it does not have an Austin radiator.
I am currently converting my hoard of one gallon paint tins into scarce vintage headlamps. I wonder how they will go on Trade Me.

The one thing I would add is that the vendor, Nigel Snow, is well known and respected in the A7 world. My own car was acquired from him nearly 40 years ago.
RE: Anybody know this car please ? - Mike Costigan - 26-01-2020
Nigel Snow was the original vendor, but it looks like it has been bought and put on eBay in the hope of making a large profit; it has already failed to sell at £1,000 more than Nigel was asking.

Ah sorry, missed that...

Nigel's price was excellent and this would have been a bargain for someone who enjoyed life with gusto.
