This is sufficiaently oddball that I think (hope) it will keep folks guessing for a while.
Of course… knowing my car-geek readership somebody will get it on the first guess. =\

Bristol 405 drophead?
Bristol 405 drophead (have I duped this comment?).
yes you have, and yes, I’m pretty sure you are correct. Well I KNOW you are correct on the Bristol part, though I doubt it is a drophead. In fact I’m pretty sure it is a pure roadster… no top. Any guess on the year or any other info?
Looks like some kind of one-off prototype based on a 405D, so that would place it between 1954 and ’58. Sorry I can’t be more specific than that; I don’t know my Bristols as well as I ought! Good-looking car,tho – I always liked the way the radiator cowling rose out of the front clip.
Bingo. You are corrcet. IIRC it was a 1957. Equipped with a big Chrysler V8. I’ll dig up more photos and post them.
Well, sure had *me* stumped! Can’t know’em all…;)
Damn, Pauly. I woulda thought for sure you’d know this one. When it comes to English cars – and NSU’s and Auto Unions – you’re the man, in my book.
Well…what can I say?..;) Thanks anyway for the (slightly) misplaced vote of confidence!
I love getting stumped, actually! I only learn when I’m clueless!
I’ll send some of my ‘mystery’ car parts/areas to chuck, he can post them and we can have some fun there, too!
