It looks like "Babs" the Higham-Thomas Special.
(but it's not though)

V12 ? That isn't a Merlin lump sitting in it is it ?

Looks like an early land speed record attempt car. Any more details ?

Cheers

Whatever it is, looks like a single production, experimental type model. Very coool and probably worth a pretty penny! Try getting parts at the local auto parts dealer though!

it's a shame to put a muffler on it. That thing would really growl.

Very interesting car.

The logo looks like the Bentley logo to me, and the car bears some resemblance to the Barnato-Hassan and Jackson special. However, those were fitted with 6-cylinder engines.

Do you have a magnification of the logo on the car?

Best regards,
Andy

PS: I bet it growled ... even with the muffler :lol:

It's a selfbuild car as far as I know
