Re: Name that car
Steve and David well done It is indeed EX3 one of the three prototype Lagonda saloons developed by W O Bentley with his new 2.6 litre engine. The company purchased by David Brown in 1947 and of course Aston Martin EX3 was the third prototype saloon, clearly with small changes and developments follow...

Re: Name that car
David hi
You are correct in time period and yes it is a prototype, but not made by Austin.
The car did go into production.
Given how quickly Richard solved my first puzzle, I thought it sensible to up the stakes slightly.

Re: Name that car
Excellent, Richard, not surprised that you worked it out so quickly. There is a picture of the car before skinning from an Article in MotorSport in 1936 and a follow up in 1987, see useful link below: https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/november-1987/80/tracing-the-moveo The article m...

Re: Name that car
Using the assumption this is a rebody: 1929 Rolls-Royce 20 HP possible chassis and running gear and radiator (relatively cheap when a 10 year old car, but good quality, perhaps a severely damaged body or an owner wanting to give the car a makeover with an up to date body style?) Now I am sticking my...

Possibly a 1935 Rolls-Royce Phantom II 3-position dhc
(note the "Continental" style louvres to the bonnet sides and no side mounted spare tyres, perhaps the elusive all weather model)
The front valance strangely modified which makes me wonder?

Re: Name that car
Perhaps a 1959 Farina MG Magnette Mk III
It has the unusual rear light lens and the very nice rear seating arrangements and characteristic door cards and chrome handles and arm-rest

Re: Name that car
Fascinating story with the pre-war Hillmans, thank you for sharing it.
I am curious what is the survival rate of these cars like?

Re: Advice needed...
Caveat Emptor, but in this case - seller beware... I think you have bent over backwards for this buyer. This is a private transaction and not a purchase from a car dealer where there might possibility be some form of warranty. My opinion for what it is worth, do not hand the keys over until you have...

Re: Advice needed - to rebuild or not
Just to give you another option, perhaps you might also want to consider these people, they are very helpful and the turnaround on parts is superfast

Re: 1972 Int. MKIII 133/5483 on Ebay
Appears to be evidence of recent paint work with over-spray inside engine bay and colour matching problems in several places
But if structurally sound, could be a good prospect for somebody.
However, there are several seemingly nicer examples in this price ranage available in the USA
