    OK, no idea yet? Hummmmmm, I have to confess that I had no idea either! I was surprised when to owner told me. Another picture! Please ignore the fellow in the kilt not paying attention.

    I'd guess 1938, possibly a Packard although the front wings don't look right for that. Looks very similar to the Talbot my father had, but the emblem is different.

    If you are going to do it, do it in a kilt!

    The hood ornament looks like 1933 Cadillac. After hunting a bit I think it is most like a 1938 British Salsmon. The window behind the back door is missing.

    Well done 1938 is the date of manufacture. Yes, you have the country(UK) of origin. No you have not got the manufacturer, or model. Another picture to follow.
