Subject: Re: Identify that car
Ok, the plot thickens. Here is my speculation. As previously mentioned, one of the last few V12s assembled after the war was clothed in a very modern looking two door coupe by H.J. Mulliner. They were based in Chiswick - only a few miles from Feltham and Staines. Perhaps the “Red Monster” was an experimental project with Mulliner to see what could be done with post-war chassis. Certainly it is somewhat reminiscent of a Bentley Flying Spur but I am sure the 2.6 litre LB6 engine would have to work really hard to drag this barge around.
