the shape of the doors is also unique, It has to be a special bodied car.
The wheels appear to be bolted rather than on splined hubs which seem more a 40's
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

I think that it's a Fiat, friend had one which I think was 1928 (ish), and looked very much like the one shown. To add to that it's
definately a left hooker, just look at the seat, no space left on the photo'd side. Cheers Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

I'm pretty sure David is correct with this.
The white shape seems to me to be a bell tent like we used to have in the Scouts.

Apart from the boat tail, it bears more than a passing resemblance to an MG M-Type Midget. The louvered panels along the bottom, the shape of the
bonnet and the wire wheels with cycle wings are spot on though.
Every man and their dog were making specials back then however, are we sure it's not some obscure bitsa?
