It has the look of an Alfa but there's a lot of Lucas lighting going on. Can't make the badge out either. It's from a friends family album, we're just trying to work out what it is.

Bumpers look like FX4 taxi ones as do the headlights and there surrounds, which makes me think Austin?

My initial reaction was that it's possibly a Facel Vega, or Alvis... But for some stupid reason I've got Studebaker in my head!

Could be something like a Paramount?

It's a 50's kit car, probably based on a Ford 10 called a Shirley MK1, The front has been "jazzed" up a bit with chrome grilles and a bumper added. linklink |

It could well be a custom / special built body on a manufactures chassis - there are a few clues - the engine is probably of a smallish profile has the complete front of the car (wings & bonnet) look to be externally hinged from the bulkhead it could in fact be a fibreglass front end - not sure if that is a knock on spinner for a wire wheel that I can see protruding on the offside front wheel - but whatever the car is - it's rare and they would not have been a lot of them built

Grill shape was suggesting Alfa to me too but could just be inspired

I had thought maybe something like a Lea Francis, But it's not. With that badge that looks like a Rover emblem I wondered if it were a version of the Marauder Sports car based on the P4 but it doesn't seem to be. There were a lot of coachbuilders doing low production run sports cars in the late 40s and early 50s and I suspect it is one of those. Its irritatingly familiar and yet I can't place it.

i see what you mean about the lucas lighting, the more i look at it it looks more like a uk car. I notice that it looks like the whole front end hinges upwards with the hinges being at the back of the bonnet, and no visable panel gaps. Paramount look like a strong possibility, id never heared of them, googling it throws a few similarities up nothing quite like this.
I'm enjoying this.
