Ronald - Correct vintage, wrong marque

Vintage was easy 😉

I have two or three other vague ideas but will wait.

The one I thought of first is Stutz. Please say I´m wrong 😉

Thank you, Stuart - the Simeone may not be the most sparkling and glamorous of destinations for car guys, but the contents are important, historic & superb. What I especially like about it is that every car is ready to start and drive anytime..............no garage queens there. Last time I visited they were driving their Poesche 917 in the parking lot to ensure it would be functional for a concours they had entered.

The next riddle-car is a one-off bespoke specimen of a premium manufacturer's regular offerings for a client who designed the exterior of his car himself, and specified the coachbuilder and all the details.

Year, manufacturer, name or model.........in short, sufficient information to demonstrate that you really know what car this is.

Thanks for participating.

Spot on, Charles. it's the 1938 Xenia, currently under the stewardship of French car collector / authority Peter Mullen and usually displayed in the Mullen Foundation Museum in Oxnard, California. I you ever find yourself anywhere near there, I urge you to make an appointment and see this exqusite collection.

Designed by Andre Dubonnet, succesful race-car driver, WW1 fighter pilot and  heir to the family apperitif business, utilizing a Hispano Suizza H6B chassis which he had modified with his own patented rear suspension ( later sold to several manufacturers ) and had Saoutchik buid the body.

Leica M240-P / 35mm  Summilux FLE

Your turn, Charles
