The Car Challenge

That's 2-3 times what you would pay in the UK, but then new Imported cars are a lot more expensive here than they are back home, so I guess it's to be expected?

[Dannie Boy]

Shouldn't be too difficult, what's this beauty?

[Bristolian]

It's a big old chassis but almost cretainly an MG from the look of the Grille??

You're on the right track Bristolian!!

[Nereus]

The "Y" type MG`s were similar shape, but it looks to big to be a "Y" type, and the front bumper is not correct.
The grill looks more like a Diamler?

It's not a Y Type, but Bristolian was on the right track with his "guess"!!

[magnum]

Is it a Rover if I recall the old ones had a similar grill.

It was totally a guess based on the grill and not much more. However it is big and that made me doubt my answer. Without Goggle I am now stuck. Over to the experts

Slightly clearer picture, and use google if you want? I think it's a really nice looking car

[Nereus]

Yes, it is a nice looking car. The two suicide doors should give it away.

Is it a Lagonda

[Dannie Boy]

Is it a Lagonda

No it's not a Lagonda, I thought I had already confirmed that Bristolian had identified the maker, so it's just the exact model - quite rare in terms of how many made!!

[Nereus]

MG SA or MG 2-litre was a sporting saloon produced by the MG Car company from 1936 to 1939.

I had completly forgotten about these. There was also a tourer body by Charelsworth, I think.

Yes, it is a nice looking car. The two suicide doors should give it away.

The suicide doors are quite unusual insomuch that a good proportion of the rear wheel arch looks to be included in the door.

Erm.. as far as I can see there are only two doors, and the hinges are well in front of the wheel arch.
