johnfromstaffs ◊ 2022-08-28 22:14	No answer yet.
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2022-08-29 15:48	Still no answer.
Lateef ◊ 2022-08-29 16:23	Why would you need an answer? The 'sedan' listing went away right after you asked the first time.
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2022-08-29 17:13	Because I suspect it to be coachbuilt, and need more than just a front mudguard. -- Last edit: 2022-08-29 17:19:18

johnfromstaffs ◊ 2022-08-29 22:14	But any firm pronouncements on this paltry image border on guesswork so I ain’t gonna do it.
dsl ◊ 2022-08-31 19:29	OK - I'll do the evil deed as the best we can do and to clear it. Other possibilities accepted, but as far as I can tell there's nothing visible which stops it being R-Type Continental and some hints against other versions.
